Re: Blisters, oozing, and trying to wear pants|
I know the feeling, I'm on day 8 of when the rash started kicking up. I have po on the back of my right thigh and calf. It started on the thigh and within a day and a half it was oozing, I immediately switched to gauze with an ace bandage. I get a SEVERE reaction to PO.
By the third day the reaction was in full swing. I soaked through 3 gauze pads in about 3 hours, probably less than that it's just when I decided to check them.
I didn't pop the blisters but they were so big(3" in diameter) that they popped themselves. I laid on the couch for two days over the weekend to get air to the area. I did my best to keep it clean. I probably should have used an antibiotic ointment on it as a precaution, I didn't and now have a full blown infection in both areas. It proceeded to get worse, continuing to cause my entire leg to swell.
I'm on Tetracycline which is causing a rash. I don't know which is worse the rash from the antibiotics or the pain and burning from the affected area.
I've had it bad before but this takes the cake, this stuff SUCKS!!! |
