Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through your complaints and would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics. I would recommend you to take capsule cephalexin 500 mg twice daily for 5 days and apply fusidic acid cream on the affected areas twice daily.

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