Glenda and Sue, I found this great stuff. Liquid bandage. Expensive but

keeps wounds clean and dry. I had a huge blister on my hand and it broke

open and was raw. I put this on and I was able to still work in the dirt and

it doesn't wash off. It stays on til the wound is healed. Just a helpful

hint. LOL

I get infections easily also. Every cut looks awful!LOL As soon as I get even a minor cut or an owie when I crash I put triple antibiotic ointment on it.(Neosporin) If it is on my hands I put band-aides on them. Then just keep the band-aide dry and put ointment on it every time I change the band-aide. Sounds like a real pain...it is!LOL I feel it is better to be safe, than sorry.

This is a small draw back of having a suppressed immune system due to the RP.

Hope this helped!

Lots of love

Glenda

Does anybody have problem with every little cut or abrasion getting infected. Just curious because I have that problem. I think my body is one big infection. I'll stop whining now...Love ya, Sue M

Dear Glenda, that's what I do also except I use Bacitin ointment. Sometimes

I'm just such a clutz. Also can't seem to get the dermatius cleared up so

that may also have something to do with it.

Thank you very much for the info, its always great to know your not alone

with any symptom or complaint. Love, Sue M
