Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of a skin infection. I recommend consulting with your GP or a dermatologist for a physical exam and checking ASO titer for streptococcus infection. Starting an antibiotic may be needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
