Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
The infection of skin may take 7-10 days to get resolvedif appropriate antibiotics are started. it may even take longer sometimes. 'So if your doctor has aptly advised you medications, these should be continued for atleast a week before any appreciable improvement can be seen.
good luck.
