Latest News On John's Leg

I have in front of me a box of Flucloxacillin Capsules that will last John a week. They have penicillin in them and he has to take one four times a day for one week. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/infections/medicines/100002910.html Also, he has some Eumovate Cream which is steroidal and John says he will "do the 100 metres in under 10 seconds on this" lol. This is used to reduce inflammation. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100000982.html He has taken a much bigger tub of cream to work but I know it's emollient cream, similar to what eczema sufferers use. In fact, Mum has some to treat her neck that comes out in a red-raw mess if she wears a perfume she is allergic to. Now, John was told what is wrong with his leg "but the Nurse said it really fast so I don't know what it is." However, he did tell her the full story about how this small scratch on his leg ended up covering the WHOLE of the bottom part of his leg. Basically, he's not been able to stop scratching it when it itches, which is why it has spread. The area itself has become infected and he has to go back there in a week. The nurse took a photograph of his leg so she can compare that with his next visit, so, hopefully, the combination of drugs and creams will do the trick. He really shouldn't have let it get to this stage but at least his leg isn't going to drop off anytime soon. I told him that if it does he can donate it to medical science!
