Browning Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Pretty sure I got a small one now. Got stung by a bee a couple weeks ago and it opened a small wound that will not heal. Noticed today it hasn't healed and doesn't seem better at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Go get some antibiotics. tsrh get to a doctor immediately, shit can travel through your bloodstream and stop anywhere, but especially places you've injured before (knees are a big one) or even heart.

AudiOn19s Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 My wife had one not too long ago and spent 4 days in the hospital as a result. Although most of that was due to no immune system from her chemo treatments. See a Dr. immediatly and get treatment for it before it gets any worse.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 emergency room then. do whatever you need to get some antibiotics. tell the doctor you think you have staph and if they still won't see you then go to the emergency room.

Farkas Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm no expert, but that just looks infected to me.. Staph looks completely different all the times I've seen it. Google search for staph, and look at the attributes that accompany a staph sore. Until you see a doctor, I'd probably use some neosporin or something of the like.

KillJoy Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 What the fuck? Are you stupid or just simple? You need a doctor, or at LEAST a Minute Clinic. Go to a Kroger or one of the MANY pharmacies that have one..... AT LEAST get seen by someone who knows what they are looking at. Asking CR if you are okay is like asking asking Bernie Madoff how to invest your money... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 At least go to CVS and put some Staph-A-Septic on it. It's good OTC stuff. Doctor may give you some oral meds and Bactroban topical. Both good stuff. My daughter brought MRSA into our home 3+ years ago when she got it at her 2 day checkup. Bleach-baths are good too. Change your towels often and clean them good. Seriously, we bought all new towels, all white and used them for weeks bleaching them each wash. If it turns out to be the nasty stuff, you'll have a good time trying to rid it from the house. Took us like 3 months and me getting it several times to clear it up.

KillJoy I'm very anti-doctor/hospital/medication Call me stupid but I've always been stubborn when it comes to this shit. I actually had a nurse a family member knows look at it and she said it just looks infected and to try neosporin and a band-aid for a couple days. That's what I'm doing and if it doesn't look better in a day or two I'll go the doctor route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm doing and if it doesn't look better in a day or two I'll go the doctor route. and this is why obama's healthcare plan won't work. you have a family member who knows a nurse look at it--that person said it 'just' looks infected, and told you to put a bandaid and neosporin on it?? you realize that EVERY staph infection starts out looking just like that?? people act like a staph infection (MRSA is a form of a staph infection, and is becoming extremely common in the community) initially looks different from any old infection--that is wrong. one of the main goals of obama's healthcare plan is primary prevention---regular check-ups and aggressive treatment of problems at their earliest stage will prevent costly surgeries and hospitalizations. you're a prime example of why his plan will fail horribly. think of it this way:: routine maintainence (oil changes, fluid changes, timing belt, etc) of your car will prevent costly repairs due to neglect. you're driving around right now with the 'check engine light on', and just assuming that it will go away on its own. trip to the dr. a few days ago, would have gotten you a prescription for antibiotics, and this would have easily taken care of the problem. now, you're risking a surgical procedure and a 3 day hospitalization for IV antibiotics when you develop an abscess. by the way, i used to operate on every one of these abscesses in the emergency department under a local anesthetic--so did everyone else i worked with, so that's what you have to look forward to. good luck, i've officially washed my hands clean of this.
