Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a skin infection on my right arm and would like to know what I need to get better.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
How long has it been there? What are the symptoms in it? And any other family member affected?
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I have it for a long time. It is Itchy, and then I scratch it. Nobody else infected in my family. Is this dermatitis?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Looking like pyoderma gangrenosum, I would advise you to go biopsy in order to confirm the diagnosis. Nevertheless, you can use Mupirocin ointment twice daily. I hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
