Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

Uncontrolled diabetes is a common cause of frequent bacterial infections. I would suggest you to take a course of oral antibiotic e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for a week. In addition, I suggest you to use a topical antibiotic e.g Mupirocin ointment or Neosporin ointment twice daily.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S., Dermatologist
