Brief Answer:
Regarding skin infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.
I would suggest a pus culture sensitivity which would guide the ultimate choice of oral antibiotics. In the mean time I would suggest empirical oral antibiotics e.g either Amoxicilin with clavulanate combination (500mg +125mg) or Cephalexin 500mg three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
