Keep in touch!: Some sores require drainage plus antibiotics. You seem to be getting better; finish antibxs. Wear clean work out clothes and use clean towels daily. Apply benzoyl peroxide to all pimples when they present. Prevent by cleaning daily especially body openings in the straddle. Keep bathroom clean and disinfect all areas weekly. Do not pick at body sores or injuries. Wash hands after nail bits.
