How to get rid of my infection on my arm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diagnosis needed: To determine 'what' is affecting your arm, you need a proper diagnosis - only then can the best treatment be prescribed. It may not be an infection at all. Best to show it to a medical professional so you can 'get started' on the road to recovery. This is the great thing about tele-medicine. An infectious diseases doctor, dermatologist or other doc just needs to see it and ask a few questions...
