Hi,
You may be having impetigo most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would also recommend you to get investigated for diabetes mellitus. Take a course of antibiotic like cefixime along with anti-inflammatory drugs under the observation of a doctor. Also, improve hygiene and immunity to prevent the relapse of the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
