Hi all,
my face started to break out about 2 weeks
ago which I thought was a rash. I saw an
urgent care doctor who prescribed me a
hyrdocortisone foam that I used for a few
days.
The "rash", which looks like lots of tiny
red bumps, a few of which have a little
pimple like whitehead on them, then
started to spread around my face and down
behind my ears, to my neck and chest.
I saw my regular doctor who look at me and
said it was a staph infection. He
prescribed me dicloxacillin 500mg x 4 a
day.
I've been on it now for 3 days and i'm not
getting better. In fact, it's getting
worse. It has since spread to down my
back, right down my spine, and is all over
my chest.
I called my doc back and he said it would
probably be a few more days before I
noticed a difference. So it seems funny
to me that it looks like it's getting
worse.
Has anyone ever heard of this type of skin
infection or have any experience on how
long it would take for it to start getting
better? I trust my doc, but i'm concerned
it's not getting better, and i'd like my
face back.
thanks for any info.
