Brief Answer:
Proper care of the affected area
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I would like to have a look at the exact skin lesions before we can be sure of diagnosis .
Please upload pictures on this page.
In the meantime, take care to keep the affected area clean and dry . You should wash it with an antiseptic lotion twice a day followed by application of a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin over the affected areas twice a day .
Take some oral anti inflammatory agent like paracetamol twice a day .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
You might need a course of oral antibiotics in case the lesion still tends to persist or increase in size .
