Hello, Earlier today I introduced myself. I thought I would write this now because of weather power keeps going out. I suffer from panic, anxiety, depression, and severe agoraphobia and health anxiety. I am basically housebound. A month ago I noticed pain under my arm while showering. My lymph node was swollen and painful. I tried not to obsess. Then a ugly purple sore came like a boil or pimple...tried peroxide, neosporin..etc... no help...called my housecall PA..he cultured it....said "moderate" staph infection. antibiotics, had to take another kind because I was pretrified of first ones side effects. I took Keflex for 10 days, twice a day. But the sore is still there! The lymph node has gone gown, no pain, just itchy and tender, but the scary purple sore still there almost 5 weeks. Its caused me to get worse. My panic is bad.
PA said his Doctor said infection probably gone...but why is sore still there?? He is out of town for holiday weekend. Mentioned dermatologist..which is impossible because of my agoraphobia. I googled it and it scared me more. Now I am terrified the and its going to kill me. Did anyone ever have anything like this.. I probably ned more antibotic not back till Wednesday and he did not want to anyway..Question?? How can infection be gone if sore still there there not getting worse just no better.. any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
