Hi,

It seems that most probably you may be having recurrent pyoderma. However, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

It may be due to poor immunity. Heavy antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs may be considered for two weeks and should be repeated after the recurrence of the disease.

You should take steps to improve immunity. Dettol bath might improve hygiene. A nutritious diet, Yoga, exercise and meditation might enhance the status of immunity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
