Hi!

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.

I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern.

Most probably seems to be bacterial abscess.


Topical and oral antibiotics will be required to get rid of these lesions.

You can apply mupirocin 2% cream twice daily on these.
If it doesnt resolve oral antibiotics may be started

Tab paracetamol-diclofenac (eg, combiflam) combination may be taken twice a day in case of pain and inflammation.

Hope this helps!

You may revert back after 1 week or earlier if you have any other question.

Good luck!
