What Causes Sores Turned Into Scabs With Pus Discharge On Right Ankle?
My son has what looks like two sores with scabs on his right ankle that are oozing pus/drainage. The skin has been rough to the touch for the past 2 days, but the oozing just started today. I have no idea what it s from. He hasn t been outside, so I don t think it s poison ivy, any ideas?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having this lesion due to some scratch or insect bitr causing allergic reaction and some infection producing oozing.
Clean local part with water and apply triple action cream for 2-3 days.
If oozing continue then he might require one ourse of antibiotic medicine for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
