Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
I am sorry to learn about your condition.
First of all, it is necessary to investigate and find out the type of organism causing the infection. It might be fungal or bacterial.
Once we find out the organism, we can give treatment accordingly.
In case of a fungal infection, an oral anti fungal is given and local anti fungal cream should suffice.
In case of bacterial infection, a potent antibiotic course will be helpful.
Also, those pus bubbles if large may require incision and drainage.
Supportive therapy of analgesics and anti-pyretics will be helpful.
Hope this information in helpful. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
With regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
