Suggest Remedy For Itchy, Painful Blisters And Scaly Skin On Cheek
Hello,
One week ago I removed my makeup to find a patch of blisters and scaly skin on my
right cheek. The next morning I had the same blisters close to my left eye and on my
forehead. The week prior, I has been chilling, and nauseous. I thought I had shingles
but I went to ER on Sunday morning. Doctors there said I had cellulitis and gave me
Keflex. T hey told me to follow up with my doctor. On Tuesday, I went to my doctor
where they confirmed that I had cellulitis and that I needed stronger antibiotics and
put me on Doxicycline. I am an inflammatory breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed
terminal in the last stages 12 years ago. I haven't had a blood test lately. Since this
skin problem is painful, itchy, and tingling; I can hardly stand it. I had surgery In September
to do an experimental lymph node transfer. It was unsuccessful. I have been chilling and
throwing up all week off and on. I feel my immune system is compromised and something is
not right. I'm not felling well at all. No energy. Can you thing of anything else it could be? Thank you.
my birthdate is 6/21/55. I have been told this should clear up in a few weeks. I'm in a lot of pain. Thank you so much.

Hello Madam, you have infection of that part of the skin and it is cellulitis. You were also on antibiotics. It will take two days for the antibiotics to act on the infections. So please you have to wait for 2-3 days to see the decrease in the symptoms. Previously other Problems had come for you and it had been solved. concentrate on the things you like and start spending time on that. Take care.
