How To Get Rid Off Infections On Face, Earlobe And Head?
Hi I have been getting a lot of infections on my face, earlobe, and head. I have taken antibiotics for 3 months and the infection keeps coming back. Now my sputum has little black spots in it. Could these be related and what could cause this to keep happening? I am a long time smoker of cigarettes and marijuana.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are taking antibiotics for last three months for infections of head,face and ear lobe.
You may require lab investigations to know the blood picture and the blood culture.
Urine examination to know the presence of the infection.
After getting the report, we can identify the micro organism causing the infection and we can decide the appropriate antibiotics for the management.
Thank you.
