Poor Oggy! If he has had this skin infection for 20 days without improvement then he really should be examined and treated by a vet. He probably needs an oral antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory to treat. You could clean the wounds with an anti-septic wound cleaner but orally medications are probably needed, too.
