Bacterial infection: These locations are typical for staph aureus colonization. Another common location is the insides of the nostrils. Try applying an otc topical antibiotic several times daily for at least a week. Swimming in chlorinated water, or making your own "swimming pool" by adding a half cup of household bleach to a bathtub of warm water and soaking for 15 to 20 minutes every day can help as well.
