Update on the SCC removed from left ankle on the 22nd Feb.

Went onto Antibiotics (Keflex) 2 days after the removal as it became infected. A fair bit of weeping and oozing from the stitches and I think a couple in the middle didn’t hold all that good so had trouble knitting back together.

Back to the Dr on the 6th March to get stitches out. Had them removed and leg still infected and oozing so another antibiotic treatment started (Flucloxacillin) for 5 days.

Today trhe wound has scabbed over but still red, warm to touch and sore. Back to a different Dr and confirms it is still infected, takes a swab and to comeback to him on the 19th for the results. Anyhow he starts me on another lot of antibiotics (Clindamycin). 48 tablets, 4 a day and also a repeat if needed. Also strict instructions not to touch it and then other parts of my body and to use proper hand washing/sanitizing if I do.

Tad pissed of with it at the moment.
