Dts had this they ended up on an antibiotic cream beginning with F, can’t remember the name! We ended up in urgent care. They were very unwell. I hope he recovers quickly.

My dd had cp at 12 and they got badly infected. During covid so the doctor didn’t want her in but prescribed anti biotics after me sending photos.
