Is Cephalexin Safe To Be Taken For Cellulitis Caused Due To A Blister?
I recently had shingles and have developed a case of cellulitis due to a non healing large blister. My pcp put me on 200 mg of Doxycycline per day for 7 days and the area began to scab and heal. One area has reopened and has a thick green discharge. Would you recommend another antibiotic such as Keflex? I ve done some research and it seems that is recommended for skin infections
