Possibility Of Ecxima Or Ringworm Due To Puffiness Around Lower Leg With Pus
I ve had a scaly, itchy, wet, circle on my lower leg for a few weeks. I ve tried over the counter medications but they didn t seem to work. I m also almost positive that it s not ecxima or ringworm because I ve done research on both and it doesn t fully resemble either. I forgot to mention that it s puffy and the one time I accidently popped it liguid came out, but this did nothing for it. Some days it looks better while on others it looks far worse. Please help thank you.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have ring worm, or taenia cruris, with the superinfection with the bacteria.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms grisofulvin 500, penicillinV, and mixed steroid ointment for local application.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
