Come on, quimby. Let's have a gammy leg update.
Nothing much to report. Haven't been to the Doc yet.Originally Posted by benbaaa
Yesterday wr0k intruded and I knew I'd have to spend all day running about doing crap so in the morning I washed it all off with Dettol soap, a few more of the zits popped, and then I splashed on a load of rubbing alcohol and covered the whole area up with some wound dressing soaked in alcohol one of those Tegaderm clear plastic patches and taped all around to keep dirt and dust and water out.
Just took the dressing off and it seems to have helped a bit, no new zits and the whole area is not hot to the touch any more or itchy and doesn't look so angry.
From this:
To this:
I don't think he is. The coloring around the area looks nasty. This is a bacterial infection and can easily move deeper or into the blood.
FFS, get yourself to a doc who will give you amoxy, or if you have any laying around, start smacking them down like m&ms.
That looks like gangrene is setting in

I did some looking around. (beats doing some real work) The spots look exactly like some of the examples of a staph infection.
and have a look here, images 14, 15, 16
Dermnet: Dermatology Pictures - Skin Disease Pictures
When reading, I came across this little bit:
Skin infections
Skin infections caused by staph bacteria include:
- Boils. The most common type of staph infection is the boil, a pocket of pus that develops in a hair follicle or oil gland. The skin over the infected area usually becomes red and swollen. If a boil breaks open, it may drain pus, blood or an amber-colored liquid.
Staph infections: Symptoms - MayoClinic.com
Which bothered me, as I remembered I had read something along the lines in this thread, and looking back I got:
Time to go see a doc QC. No more effing around. Staph can be damn serious (life threatening) if it gets into your blood stream (through scratching for example!).
Sometimes grass does that if you have been walking in long grass. But if pushed I would say ants.
It will go away. I've had similar before only on my back.
That orange stuff is likely blood in serum.
The recent pics (post # 104) of the infection show a reduction of eruption.
That's good.
If the reduction progresses, all good, you're doing the right thing, so far.
If the eruption of pustules increases, please;
a) wash and BRUSH the affected area as you've done so far AND add disinfectant to surface.
b) powder the area with anti-bacterial//fungal powder or use a similar cream.
If this persists, you can consider using a course of penicillin.
Otherwise, if it's getting better, it ain't fwk'd. So why try and "fix" something that aint fwkd?
It seems you're doing the right thing so far,....but if it goes tits up, get a jab, otherwise, no.

He might as well pop m and ms .That leg will be coming off by the sound of it, especially the bit about antibiotic overuse
These staph infections range from a simple boil to antibiotic-resistant infections to flesh-eating infections. The difference between all these is the strength of the infection, how deep it goes, how fast it spreads, and how treatable it is with antibiotics. The antibiotic-resistant infections are more common in North America, because of our overuse of antibiotics.
The infection appears to be reducing.
No mention made of anti-biotic overuse.
If he continues with what he's doing he should be OK.
it's not going to get better with a bit of salt water.
it's going to get worse and spread.
Every time one of those pustules bursts it spreads and more pustules come up. They burst and spread and so on.
If he follows my advice, nips down to the pharmacy now and gets some ant bacterial steroid cream it'll be sorted in a couple of days.
You only need to use a very little of it as well.

Run down the docs with your Lurgy while you still can
Interesting what you say about salt water, it does work on topical infections, similar to disinfectants..
Agree also, if it gets worse after using the average home remedy, get a jab.
Penicillin works on most bacterial/fungal infections.
Some fungal infections will NOT reduce with penicillin, though.

Go to a Dr.Originally Posted by ENT
or randomly follow Koojo, Ent or some other internet expert's advice.
^^ I won't argue against it, salt'll kill anything.
BUT, if the infection's in the bloodstream, ......I don't fancy big shots of salt,...I'd be pickled!
Reminds me of this pic I saw....
Gotta read about it mate, penicillin is only a fungus that will compete with other fungi or bio-forms for nutrients.
If another more virile fungus or bacterium is competing with it, penicillin will just get destroyed.
Otherwise penicillin will destroy staph or strep infections normally.
One reason why you're asked if you're allergic to penicillin etc, it's because other bio-forms in the body can aggressively resist penicillin, causing some nasty side effects.
^ you really are too stupid to live ENT.
I really do try with you, but your blind ignorance and stupidity is simply beyond comprehension.
