Question 8

Depends on which type of infection you have. Go back to see your doctor to be sure the antibiotics are working for you.

Question 10

i have two bumps, one on each sideburn next to the ear. they fill with puss and when i drain its puss and blood. they hve been there 6 months so far.

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: These appear to be either pustules due to infected hair follicles or infected inclusion cysts. Since they have not resolved after all this time, I recommend that a physician examine you and determine whether a course of an antibiotic like dicloxacillin,an effective antistaphyllococcal antibiotic, is indicated. A culture of the infected material may be done first.
