Hi,

You seem to have relapsing pyoderma. Your immunity status would be deprived. You know the cause. Addiction of marijuana,tobacco and smoking would have reduce the immunity.

Kindly leave the bad habit of all the three addiction. Or you consult the physician to deaddict all the three things.

Pyoderma may be better after taking antibiotic,antiinflammatory drugs and immunoboosters. Take Dettol bath. Apply antibiotic cream on the lesions.
Improve diet and have regular exercise.

I hope this would guide you to alleviate your problem.

Thanks.
