Suggest Alternative Medication For Swollen Pus Spots On Legs
Hello. I have eczema and I use steroid cream for my legs. They are very bad. I think though the steroid cream is making it worse. I have small swollen puss spots that get worse and more painful after they re popped. What can I do to get rid of the spots?

I can understand your concern
eczema on leg become worse on application of steroids sometimes
pus spots indicate bacterial infection
here I would like to suggest take antibiotics like augmenting 625 for 3days along with antihistamine like montair LC ,,
slowly it will subside
don't worry ,avoid itching over area,try to keep it dry,clean,
apply antifungal cream ..twice daily..
it will comedown don't worry, OK,
