I will be greatly thankful for the identification of and possible treatment
for the following disease:

The outer skin of the lower part of abdomen has badly discoloured -- looks
like burnt skin -- and there are a number of abscess full of pus. Oral and
injected antibiotics have been given for about 8 days and pus has been
drained regularly but abscess are not going away nor is the pus. This is a
55-year-old woman in India. Doctors for some reason or other have not been
able to diagnose what exactly seems to be the problem. Urine, blood and pus
tests, according to the doctors, are ok.

Many thanks in advance.

What have cultures shown? Is that what you mean by pus test?
