A member asked:
Went back to dr for folliculitis and he gave me another 10 day dose of cephalexin how long does it take to heal and how do you know if it is healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: The time varies. The real question is did it get better with the cephalexin or not. If it did, then you just need more time. If it did not, then maybe you are on the wrong antibiotic.
