Hello!
Thank you for the query.
From the point of this service it is impossible to give straight solution as I can not see the skin changes. But for sure, you should be tested for possible infection with swab test. Good dermatologist is what you need mostly. Steroids agents are not the best treatment, if you do not have autoimmune condition.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
