oh one last word from the peanut gallery (as prof so kindly put it) Wide range atb.without a culture and a k+sparing diuretic is most physicians protocol for such an ailment. It is cool to follow physician’s orders.

Prof I’ll tell you that no one knows better than I about med. advice. Read my comments again. You seem to be intelligent. I have been a nurse for 25 yrs. and am very familiar with what I am legally allowed to say. I have known those to take the stand and yes, been involved myself. I would never tell a human You should…. That is beyond my scope and I am well aware of that. My words were “go for rnds. of PERSCRIBED atb et a diuretic. Why do you tx. other’s as you do? No one has tried to take anything from you here. I apologize and concede if your doctorate is in nursing science.

ha ha ha! i just watched it again… keeping an eye on your sneaky hand! it’s hysterical! you go *right* to where the pus is… and she comes behind you, cleaning up! how funny that you didn’t realize you were doing it (and doing it so well!!!).

i join in the thanks, katex! you’re obviously brilliant and won’t be engaging in dangerous DIY stuff. a word, though, to the peanut gallery: sometimes comments come awfully close to medical advice, and i am not comfortable with that. warning against doing something stupid, like dicing and slicing into cellulitis, that’s cool — but getting into suggestions like rubbing honey, taking diuretics, etc? not cool.

Take care of yourself Katex, that zit is nothing to play around with…my daughter has it bad and has had to be hospitalized because of it! Oh and eat lots of honey, as much as you can stand…and even rub it around the infected area….helps kill bacteria and besides you have nothing to lose by trying it.

Edema is it, that’s the indention, just like a sponge full of water. I’m really surprised you’re doc. didn’t give you a fluid pill along with your antibiotics? katex, you do have a f/up appt.? I sure can feel your frustration, just try to be patient. Do you recall if dr. cultured the drainage? He gave you wide range atbs. surely they’ll do the job. Hang in there and let us know how it goes.. Blessings.

Katex, it’s so good to see someone who doesn’t just accept the first assessment (“nothing to drain…”) and follows her own instinct! Good for you, and nice try when you showed the doc in this video where to push to get the pus out. Too bad she paid no attention and went right back to pushing just outside the incision for more blood (mostly)! You poor thing! Cellulitis is not at all fun, and you have even kept your sense of humor. Welcome aboard (speaking for all of us pseudo-lurkers!
