For the last 4 years I have had Spates of abscesses.
The doctor here in the united kingdom Have taken lots of blood off me multiple times and run tests And they me that " I'm just really unlucky "
It started While I was working triple Shift I got a wound on my neck that escalated quickly into a swelled up lump .(I didnt go to the doctor or drain it and it got big.)
When I finally figured out what it was I drained it and pulled lots of like chewing gum stuff out of a hole in my neck all with puss. And was prescribed antibiotics.
Since then I have had a spate of abscesses that arrive and then go anyway and then come back.
For example 3 months a go I had 5 abscesses one after the other on my lower back and bottom . Then none now I have 1 active abscess on my leg and 4 in various stages of healing. I also have a painful red spot of skin that will become another one.
I have tried bathing in bleach solution twice a week to kill bacteria I have use Antiseptic creams And liquids daily
A strong long course of antibiotics clears them up but they come back
At this point I just phoned the doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics without them even caring to see me in person (just send us a photo) Flucloxacillin or amoxicillin (usually Flucloxacillin 500mg 4 times daily . But it's still a painful process and it repeats its self.
I recently drained and healed the last 4 on my knee without antibiotics. I got a Bit ill And lethargic but I managed it Just with draining and cleaning (I am so used to it now)
Is there anything I can do Do to stop this cycle???
Is there anything I can inject into the abscess to neutralise it As apparently it's a bacterial infection between the layers skin?
