Hi
Your partner seems to have developed a localised pyogenic collection.
Such an infection of the skin necessitate the urgent use of an antibiotic agent.
He might need to be treated with both topical and oral antibiotics .
A pus culture and sensitivity test might also be required, so you need to see a local dermatologist soon for further assessment and treatment .
