Hi,
I can understand your concern for having relapsing pyoderma. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Pyoderma is an infectious skin disease affecting the hair follicles. Staphylococci may be the responsible bacteria. I would recommend a course of heavy antibiotic for about two weeks along with the antiinflammatory drugs. Apply antibiotic cream on the lesions. Improve immunity and hygiene. Repeat the treatment if the disease relapses.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
