Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of sore skin patches that look like scrap which seems to be due to infection of a hair follicle and the surrounding skin. It could be due to low immunity in general or due to some underlying disease.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper examination and rule out any underlying condition. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clarithromycin at least for a week along with anti-inflammatory and vitamin supplement to boost the immunity. For now apply warm compresses, apply kojic acid cream on the patch and eat a healthy diet for immunity. If the patch doesn't go then go for laser therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
