Beauty Tips For Body Care
My previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/4f80j5/skin_concerns_no_health_insurance_but_i_think_i/So after you all urged me to see a doctor promptly, I went to the urgent care clinic after work on Monday. I waited an hour as a walk-in patient, and was seen almost an hour before the clinic closed.The doctor seemed in a hurry as I guess doctors are, and quickly diagnosed me with impetigo as she thought my face looked like it had strep and because my zits/sores were weeping.She prescribed me 500mg of dicloxacillin to take every 6 hours for 7 days. She said that the sores should dry up by day 3 and be pretty much gone after 7 days.Sadly, I think my face looks worse than before I went to see the doctor. Here is a pic: http://imgur.com/oTBQpdA (I started taking my meds immediately after I picked them up Monday night, so I count Monday as Day 1)The only redeeming factor of the meds is that it replaced the burning sensation on my face with a very dry feel (which is marginally better).The doctor said I should come back in 7 days if my face isn't better after the meds to get swabbed for MRSA. I guess that's where I'm headed this Monday :(I'm really bummed about the misdiagnosis and wasting my money on the meds (luckily my college covered the doctor visit, but not the antibiotics).Sigh.
