Hi,
From your description, it looks like ecthyma skin lesion. This is due to a bacterial infection. You can continue fucidin ointment for few more days. If it spreads to other areas/if it doesn't reduce in size then you may need to give an oral antibiotic to treat the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
