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


Repeated skin infection does suggest some infection, not cleared with previous treatment. If you have culminating inflammation ,pain &redness.with fever that indicates presence of infection.
It can treat skin and tissue infection, if the infecting organisms are sensitive. Get it confirmed through a local examination and culture test as per need.

Hope I have answered your query.
