Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I could not get where is the initial infection. If it is skin and soft tissue, my advice will be to undergo a culture and sensitivity of the wound discharge done to know the susceptibility of organisms responsible, against different antimicrobial agents.
Many of the other manifestations are probably allergic as well as steroid induced.

Stay in touch with your dermatologist and take is advice and proceed according to him.
All the best
