Brief Answer:
Either wart or chronic bacterial or fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and there are few possibilities: Either wart or some chronic bacterial or fungal infection.
I would recommend you to take oral antibiotic like tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for 7 days and apply mupirocin cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7 days.
If it doesn't improve consult a dermatologist and go for clinical examination.
