Number of open. painful and growing lesions led my PCP to send me off to the Dermatologist who biopsy’d a part of one, dx’d staph infection and sent me on my way with a topical steroidal cream, Cephlexin and a comforting suggestion that I’d feel better in a couple of days.
I thought that I was getting better, until today…went back for my one week followup only to discover that he was not happy with my progress. Biopsy going to another Pathologiist and lesions are resistant to the antibiotic. I’m pretty bummed about this, my skin has betrayed me in an ever widening sea of sharply painful, wet lesions.
Put me on a new mega-steroid dose in addition to a new antibiotic and we’ll see what the Pathologist says.
I’m miserable, can’t sleep and so I’ll wait. I crave some relief…not in sight yet, but hoping. (A tleast I’ve stopped posting here at 2 or 3 in the morning 😀 ).
