I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?

I've been struggling with a stubborn ringworm infection on my inner thigh, and it's just not going away. I've already tried some over-the-counter creams, but they aren't doing the trick. I'm getting pretty frustrated and worried. What else can I do to treat this persistent issue? Is there something stronger I should be using? Any advice would be really helpful.
