Brief Answer:
Likely bacterial infection, good response expected

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Welcome to this site!

I am Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX and I am a Sr Consultant Dermatologist and Infectious Diseases specialist

I have reviewed your notes and think that it is a bacterial infection.

Generally, these infections develop and spread due to sweating, friction, high humidity, and even improper hygiene. most such infections are bacterial in origin and respond very well to antibiotics like Amoxy-Clav combinations or Linezolid. To my patients I also advise to take anti inflammatory drugs and multivitamins along with other medicines and it helps in the action of antibiotics.

I would also ask you to get your sugar levels tested as the disease is seen more commonly in Diabetics and those on suppressant drugs.

It should take about a week for you to get good relief although improvement might be noticeable within two to three days of starting treatment.

Hope you get well soon.

Best wishes from our team!
