Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it looks like pyoderma which is bacterial infection of the skin.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply to topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the affected area twice daily for 5-6 days.
This will help in resolving the infection.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
