Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
It appears that you are allergic to some creams, and soaps, or some cosmetics. Make a note of the things you have used before you had the eruptions. In case of allergy, eosinophelia may play a role in the eruptions.
The other reason may be the resistant organisms causing the infection, So i advise you to have culture and sensitivity of the discharge from the eruptions and treatment according to the result.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
