Guest guest Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi Barbara.... No..no antibiotics. I took keflx about a week ago and it seemed to be getting better than decided to get ugly..lol I have been soaking the foot in warm soapy water sometimes too. The skin is so broken on top....I'm on prednisone and that makes the skin paper thin so it doesn't take much. He's doing the culture so he can see what bacteria we're dealing with and use the right anti. I try to stay off the foot and even keep the slippers off. but thats not always possible. I'm not even taking my enbrel right now till I can get it to clear up. Thanks Barb....I don't know what other antibiotic they will use. I may be allergic to sulfa so..... (we're not sure..i had about two new meds I took with an antibiotic and broke out in hives so not sure what caused it..but not taking chances. ). Hugs. a When I use water and a little bleach, I also add soap. Then I soak in as hot water as I can tolerate. Yes, alcohol sure does burn. I hope they find the cause of your infection, and treat it accordingly. Are you still taking anti-biotics? I know some infections are hard to clear up, especially on the feet. I hope you can rest often, and stay off your feet. That is what I am doing today. I am very tired, and my feet and ankles are hurting.
