The question: is do you need an antibiotics or topical anti-inflammatory or antihistamine. Antibiotics may be indicated only in the presence of secondary infection. Skin infections may respond to many different antibiotics especially the Penicillins, 1st& 2nd generation cephalosporins, macrolides, teteracycline, Clindamycins............
