HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be because of the infection either systemic or superficial, although the skin is said to be strong barrier for infection still the microorganism have ability to penetrate the skin if the hygienic condition is very poor, if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following medicine'
1) Tab Cefdinir 300 mg twice a day for 7 days
2) Medicated soap (Containing Chlorhexidine base),
Have bath at least twice in day, you would get the good results take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
