I've been going to a dermatologist off and on for a few years for some rough spots on my skin and a few other things.
This year they have a new thing where they put a lotion on you and you go under a light for 15 minutes to prevent cancer. They do your arms, your chest, your back and your face. It was rather interesting but very time consuming. He always overbooks. You go back for each one, they are not all done on the same day.
Anyway, what I am going to share with you has nothing to do with these new treatments, I've been to him before for something else. I've had a small spot on the inside of my right arm just below the elbow. He has frozen it in the past but it did eventually change and he tested it for cancer. It did show that it was cancer so he decided to remove it and I agreed with that.
So I went in and he removed it. I had some several stitches and also staples put in to hold it together. I had to go back in to have the staples removed 10 days later. When the girl took out the stitches she noticed that the area was a little pink which meant it might be infected. She called me and told me that I should have it checked out at urgent care.
I did that and it was definitely infected. Unbelievable. This should not have happened. I was taking very good care of it. I went to urgent care on Thursday and they gave me a prescription and wanted to see me back in a few days so I'm going back today.
I hope that they think it is better too because they talked about sending me to the hospital. I can't imagine what they would do.
So again, I would appreciate your prayers.

That is inexcusable, Debby. Yes, I will keep you in my prayers for complete healing!
That seems odd to me that she sent you to urgent care. If she noticed it why didn't they just take care of it then? Any way, I'm so sorry you have to deal with yet another thing. Prayers coming your way
🙏🙏. Just more stuff you have to contend with. Hang in there, Debby
Hi Debbie, sorry to hear this. When I had my skin cancer removed, they started me on an antibiotic the same day. I think it was doxycycline.. praying for the infection to heal quickly.
Awww Debby, I am so sorry for these additional issues. Praying that the infection clears and that there is no hospital in your future for that "Thing".
hugs

I am so sorry, I can't believe it again. I will be praying, but I don't know why they didn't see you.
I’m so sorry! You have already been going through so much! Yes, hugs, love, and prayers. ❤️🙏
Oh Debby, I'm so sorry about the infection. Glad they caught it, however, and I hope the antibiotics will take care of it quickly. I know, if it isn't one thing it is another. Praying it heals soon and that your other issues will also be getting better soon too. (((HUGS)))
I'm so sorry, Debby! Still praying!
Boy, you don't need this!!! There had better be some golden days and happy news coming your way to balance this out!
I can't get to your blog. Can you send me your blog location?
Praying for you Debby!!

That isn't good have the wound get infected, hope all heals well from here on
What a pain. So sorry you're having to go through this. I hope the medication worked, the infection is gone and things are back to normal for you.
