What Could The Dry Patches On Chin Be?

Hi doctor. A week ago I had two dry patches on chin and I peeled them off leading to some pus and flaking for few days. The part got worse and expanded and dried up and flaked like crazy, however now they are almost healed turning into two big brown patches. However my concern is now the sides of my face are flaking as well, the dry patches seem spreading to other parts of my face and I don t know what to do but to watch it spread. Please help my face looked so horrible right now with red dots when closely examined are skin peeling off. I have oily skin and my skin has mostly been clear of pimples I just have large pores on my nose.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that this could be infective dermatitis and if the pus formation is there then this need to be treated with the antibiotic and the best medicine is Erythromycin and according to age and weight this need to be given, for local application Povidone is the best option, take care and have a nice day.
