Rash Revisited

Oops.
I really wish I hadn`t shaved my legs.
Been to the doctor`s, and I have a rip-roaring full blown cellulitis, which he is very concerned about.
One calf is 3/4 of an inch bigger than the other due to the infection.

I have come home with Erythromycin tablets, four per day for seven days, and with strict instructions that if the rash is not significantly better by tomorrow, I have to return to see him immediately, either for a change of antibiotics or maybe hospitalisation.

See, I knew it was vanity, and look where it`s got me :-)
The razor is going OUT !!

Good grief Elizabeth, that doesn't sound like any fun at all! I've never heard of that happening. I use lotion immediately after shaving to help prevent shave-burn, but what you describe sounds very uncomfortable. Hope you get well soon!

Believe me, it could **only** happen to me ! she mutters darkly.
The worst thing is the intense itching. If anything, even clothing, touches my leg, I want to scratch...and I can`t !

Oh no! I will say a prayer for you. That must really be difficult!

Ouch! My sympathies and prayers with you!
