Most simple skin conditions can be handled by primary care doctors (pediatricians, family doctors and internists). More complex ones may require a dermatologist.
A skin specialist is called a Dermatologist. Usually it’s best to see your GP in the first instance - they can refer you to the specialist if they need to.
Dermatologist.
use hydrogen peroxide to clean it and then use antibacterial ointment and cover it with a band aid. Make sure you take the band aid off at least once a day for an hour or so to let air get at the wound though. It will heal quicker if you do that
if i were u id better go to a dermatologist… to best know if its just a simple allergy or if it is contagious or not… and for yu to have a better cure for it… allergies could cause death sometimes so we must be careful about these too…
A skin specialist is called a Dermatologist. Sounds like you just need to keep the rash clean with peroxide and use some Polysporin, which will speed up the healing and keep the wound clean. If it appears to worsen, you could see your GP who may give you oral antibiotics if it looks like its getting worse. Good luck : )
