Brief Answer:
This is a form of eczema and would resolve on treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

This not infectious. It is a form of eczema. It should completely resolve on the medications which i had earlier suggested. Take a second opinion only if it does'nt resolve on the medication i had suggested.
