What Causes E Coli?
I had a staff infection in my groin area, then noticed brown flat circles in the groin area, Dr. took a biopsy and it came back as e coli. What could cause this? And is it safe to have sex, going on a cream, was already on clyndomycin. is this caught through sex with someone or could i catch it at the gym?

hi,
e.coli is a bacteria which is present in our gut..and in various places around us..
it generally doesnt cause infections that too skin or soft tissue infections..(only toxin producing varieties of e.coli cause problems in humans)
are you a diabetic or are you on any medication?
it generally doesnt transmit by sex..
apply bactrim ointment over the lesions..maintain personal hygiene..
this shoul solve your problem..
hope my answer helped you
