Help! Been to ER and General Practice Doctors. None have any idea what is going on.

Its been 2 weeks since the start of these skin symptoms.

GP Doctor had given me steroids' creams that have no effect on healing.

Went to ER to ensure its not monkeypox.

ER said it is not monkeypox and discharged me with broad spectrum antibiotics that has no effect.

However, ER's prescription of Telfast 180mg Anti-Histamine help stopped the itch.

Currently on Augmentin 600mg x3 a day.

Telfast 180mg x1 a day.

    It looks like a bad reaction to an insect bite or sting. Keep going with the antihistamines and Augmentin. It may take a little while to calm down but keep it clean with ordinary soap and water. If you start to feel unwell or that redness starts spreading up your arm go back to ER at once. Dont pick at it.
