My puppy has pyoderma in his armpits. Safe home remedies or vet?

Question

I adopted my puppy about a month ago and on the chart I received it said he had a case of pyoderma but it had been healed it has recently come back in his armpits and is making him very uncomfortable. I’ve been reading about home remedies such as hydrogen peroxide, and chlorexidine, but I’m afraid to try anything without making sure it’s safe for him, I can’t really afford the vet right now but will go if I need to. Are there any safe and effective home remedies or should I make a vet visit? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 13 lbs

Oatmeal baths and shampoos can soothe irritable skin and tea tree shampoos are naturally antiseptic. If however the area becomes wet or crusty it should be checked by a vet to rule out infections or mites
