Well the doc said if it doesn't stop oozing to get the silver algenate but so far....it's not really needed.
I'm lucky I'm trained in wound care so yeah I've been washing it and hitting it with chlorhexedine lol. Staph is a motherfucker. When they said "mrsa" I though "awww fuck I was afraid of that". It's just so aggressive and hard to kill.
I'm not sick and have no fever so thank God for that. I know how fast that can change though.
Everyone is in the house is freaked out about bugs now. Last summer my daughter caught west Nile virus from a mosquito. This summer? I get ass cheek mrsa from a spider bite. Awesome!
You wound dressings should contain the silver honestly.... you saw my wound and how huge it was it took 14 weeks to heal... and I have had 3 smaller ones and the first of the 3 took 7 weeks.... I have pictures. I had 5 operations last year.
I have discovered that even if a pimple appears I am straight to emergency. MY BIG MISTAKE was delaying the first major one for 6 days.. I had 2 surgeries on it and 16 day stay in hospital and then 12 weeks at SilverChain.... the first 2 weeks, Silver Chain sent me back to hospital for wound dressing... I had to have this vacuum thingy attached to me to keep it draining.
