Skin Infections!
« on: February 21, 2004, 12:20:08 PM »
Hiya

Help on this matter please!!

I have P on my hands and feet - well about 3 weeks ago my doc said I was clear and to stop using Dovonex as my hands and feet were so red and this was a side effect of using dovonex.

Since stopping dovonex I've been moisturising lots to keep my skin from going dry.  Its been nice not having to put dovonex on.  :)

Only prob is that I've had two infections on my hands since stopping dovonex.  When my P was really bad I suffered badly with infections on my hands and feet, had antibiotic tabs and then cream and it helped.

I have been using the anti biotic cream to fight the infection on my hands, but i just wandered if anyone else suffered with infections, esp on their hands?????

My last infection cleared after a week of the cream but then made my skin all dry, flakey and scabby, that then took a week and abit to clear, and now I have spots of infection again.  Its doing my head in so much - it seems i have a small good period of time with my skin, then the infections kick in and i'm back to bad hands.  >:(

My feet have continued to improve  :) , I just wish my hands would too, as i'm fed up of wearing cotton gloves and not being able to use my hands properly.  :-[

I worry lot more as time goes on as I'm getting married in May and I really want my skin to be nice for that day and the Honeymoon!!

Looks like i'll be back at the docs monday if no improvements over the weekend!! boo!!!  :(

Thanks for listening, hope you are all ok. Lou x
