Age: 20 Sex: Female Height: 5.7 feet Weight: 140 lbs Race: Asian Duration of complaint: 3 weeks Location (Geographic and on body): Leg Any existing relevant medical issues (if any): no [https://imgur.com/N68r5RG](https://) Picture Its been there more than two weeks started as small pimple looking thing and got bigger. Its weeping clear yellow substance. Not itchy or painful. At first i put Antibiotic cream which didn't help, then i put some antifungal cream which also didn't help. I went to a doctor and she gave me antibiotic pills, which gave me allergic reaction (I looked like it got a little bit better after these pills) but i will not try it again my lips got swollen, eyes red etc. She called even some other doc and called dermatologist to ask what it can be but for now they just took swab test and said will call me to tell results but looks like they having problems finding out what it is. Maybe someone had touch with something similar and know what it is here? I read a bit that hydrocolloid patches might help, might try that in a few days. Thanks for help !
wont let me see the photo
Dont put hydrocolloid patches on it. They are for healing a clean wound and you seem to have an infected lesion which is why they have taken a swab. They are trying to find out which bug is causing the problem. It may even be that there is something in the wound.Wait until the results of the swab come back and then your doctor will be able to understand better what is going on.
Just keep it clean in the mean time. Just wash with soap and water, rinse well and dry. No more antibiotic creams or antifungal creams please.
Also tell your doctor that you had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic,so that you are not given the same again. Was it penicillin?

Any updates on the non healing sore on your leg? Any swab results? Hope you have found the answer to the problem…do let us know if you have. Have you been tested for diabetes?
No i have not been tested for diabetes, but i don’t think i have as i dont have any symptomps of it at all. The swab test came out negative for viral but they still not sure what it is
