Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have reviewed the image.
You seem to have bacterial skin infection. I suggest a course of an oral antibiotic e.g amoxicillin+clavulanic acid combination for a week or 10 days.
Topically you may use an antibacterial cream e.g mupirocin cream or fusidic acid cream.
In addition you must keep your blood sugar under strict control.
