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

Perhaps you have an infected eczematous dermatitis. If I was the treating doctor I would suggest an oral antibiotic for a week to take care of the the infection. In addition I would suggest an oral antihistamine for symptomatic relief from itching. This would take some time till the dermatitis settles. Once the infection and hence pus and discharge dries up I would then suggest you to apply a potent topical steroid cream e.g either Mometasone Furoate cream or Clobetasol Propionate cream to help control the itchy dermatitis. These are all prescription medications and I advice you to kindly talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.

Regards.
