Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This may be wounds infection with resistant bacterias so you should take wound swab and do antibiogram and microbiologic analysis. This would reveal the type of microbe and then right antibiotic can be taken. In some cases would can be treated with VAC therapy if there is no success with antibiotics.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
