Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcare magic

If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics.

In such cases I recommend my patients to take tablet amoxicillin clavulanic acid combination 625 mg twice daily for 5 days along with anti inflammatory medicine like tablet aceclofenac serratiopeptidase combination twice daily for 3 days.

Along with this I advise them to apply mupirocin cream on the affected area twice daily for 5-7 days till it resolves.

These medicines are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
