It sounds like you need to be seen either by your PCP, ER, or a wound care specialist. A health care provider needs to look at it and do a proper evaluation to determine what exactly is going on.

I just got out of the hospital for having MRSA about 4 days ago. I'm currently on antibiotics. They popped a blister like infection on my thumb that needs to continue to be cleaned but I have no more scrub to clean it.

I have a wound on my leg that my primary care doctor treated me for about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I went to wound care. I want to make sure this is the right treatment— he debris it yesterday once and said to clean it once a day with soap and water, and put Dakins solution on a 2 x 2 pad and wrap with 4x4 gauze once a day. Then come back in a week. Does this sound like a good treatment? I don't have a lot of time. I don't want to lose my leg. Please let me know.
