alternate names for PEG?

[Guest guest]

My son's staph infection reared it's ugly head again...this time on the toe adjacent to the initially-infected one. He got caught in the rain here on Thursday and was soaked thru and thru - I think this is what initiated this new infection since he was clear and off meds for a week. Friday night when we got home I saw the first hints. Thankfully, we caught this very very early (pays to be anal sometimes).

Anyway, I was checking the antibiotic cream we are using. Guess what I found in the ingredients - peglitol, peglicol and some other interesting peg-words.

Any clues or thoughts? My first thought is that peglitol and peglicol are nothing but nicknames for PEG. Watching him for symptoms, and last night he was spinning with his men and acting somewhat aggressively (though I have to admit he was serious tired and hungry as well).

Although we are not using much (very sparingly, as a matter of fact), I have a feeling that for some reason it is highly absorbed by the feet (between the toes).

Anyway, I figure the letters "peg" contained in any word should raise flags now.

Thanks for the vent session, and if any of you know about this please let me know. Unfortunately, this is the only medication that has even temporarily knocked out the staph (MRSA!).
