Case Description

29 y/o female. First developed a furuncle on thigh. Applied antibiotic cream for days. Furuncle did not develop any further, no pain but still red and swollen around area. A few days after, patient developed pruritic rash around area. Rash spreading around thigh and lower leg. Any guess what it is? Staph infection? #dermatology #rash #boil

Case 1

skin tear to anterior aspect of right arm 3/52 ago. Ongoing erythema since. 1/52 of increasing swelling and erythema to arm spreading into dorsal aspect of hand and wrist along with crusting rash. Systemically well. Looks like cellulitis but the crusting rash is unusual. ?Cellulitis with impetigo? Any thoughts?

Case 2

Sent to wound clinic for painful ulcer of 8 weeks. Started as a cut but got bigger and more painful. Otherwise healthy. Treating with Neosporin.

Case 3

Neosporin allergy

Case 4

3 yo M with history of eczema is brought in by his mother for recent widespread worsening. She had stopped topical steroids several weeks ago because she thought it was looking infected and began applying Neosporin to the lesions. His skin continued to worsen. I told her to stop the Neosporin because it may be worsening this rash. Any thoughts on other avenues to pursue with this child? (He has not been to a dermatologist yet.) Thanks!
