Persisting Small Sores Around The Elbow. Gets Worse On Itching. Tried Home Remedies But Of No Use. Treatment?
I have a skin problem that is persisting. It is localized on my left arm around the elbow area...it is a number of small sores. They don't seem to heal like usual sores and new ones appear as small bumps that become worse if I scratch them. I have tried numerous home remedies but nothing seems to make much difference. It gets a little worse then a little better but overall just persists.
I would love to know what it is and what I should try to treat it.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Look skin lesion are difficult to judge without clinical examination and observation, but still I could say that it must be some bacterial infective boils apply some broad spectrum ointment , like Povidon iodine, will give best result and if does not cure then see the dermatologist , have nice day.
