Hi,
You seem to have impetigo contagiosa on extremities and buttock. You consult dermatologist and have perfect treatment. Blood tests may be done to rule out DM,HIV and other immunocompromised conditions. Antibiotic like cefixime in proper dose for two weeks and anti inflammatory drugs may taken. Apply antibiotic cream like muprocin oint. Cleanse the part with dettol like antiseptic. Improve immunity and physical hygiene. You may become alright.
Thanks.
