Hi
Thd kind of skin lesion you have could be suggestive of either an allergic reaction or an infection .
Since the lesion did not respond to treatment with topical steroids ,so there is a high possibility that the lesion is infective in nature .
You should see a nearby dermatologist so that a proper assessment can be done and treatment can be given accordingly.
