Re: Sex disease turns into a 'superbug'

This reminds me of an aunt that lives close by that suffered for 10

years from a fungal infection on her cheek. She got fed up with being

given failed treatments time and time again over the ten year period

that she insisted that her doctors send her off to a specialist with

a high level reputation.She ends up seeing a skin specialist that had

a huge success rate that did just what your describing..took a swab

placed my aunt on treatment and this ten year nightmare cleared over

the week and the therapy lasted a month or more and there's been a

simple end to a ten year nightmare....Admittedly my aunt didn't chase

answers on a weekly basis, but would have constant flare ups that got

several failed treatments over that period.
