I™ve only had it for a few days and don™t remember doing anything to the affected area to cause this. It keeps peeling even when I™m not touching it and seems to stay moist and ooze a yellowish liquid. It™s not healing and I™d like to know what it is and how to heal it. So far I™ve tried using hydrogen peroxide and then neosporin with a bandaid, but that didn™t work. Any help is appreciated!

Also ive been on Accutane since late Novemeber if that might be of any help.

I've had one of those.
I cant talk for you but my derm told me I got infected with strephtococcus and prescribed my a cream and desinfection spray.
One thing - if you shower, always take a new towel because it may spread otherwise.
And try to moisturize your skin a lot

I've been reading up on it and the closest thing I've found is that it might be impetigo, although it's not near my mouth. I also have a spot on my left eyebrow of similar condition. Should I see a doctor for antibiotics?
