bacterial skin infection
"Currently on day 3 of a 10 day antibiotic blast of Bactrim after 2 days on Keflex.  What I had originally thought was a pimple on my septum just inside my right nostril turned out to be a staph infection.  I had lances the "pimple" when it came to a head, thinking it would provide relief, however the infection spread across my nares and over the tip of my nose overnight.  Went to urgent care as I instantly suspected staph as the culprit and was prescribed Keflex and Bactroban topical until my follow up with my PCP.  Infection showed moderate improvement at my follow up, but was then prescribed Bactrim.  Within 24 hours the itch and swelling had completely subsided.  By 48 hours the sores were cluster-scabbing, and today they're falling off!"
