I had oral surgery in June 2011 and developed an itchy skin rash within a week  after surgery around the iv site..the surgeon missed the vein the first time so got it on the second try....the rash spread from my right arm to my left arm and then to my legs ....went to a dermatologist and he took a slide of one of the sores and it came back positive for staph aureus..he put me on bactrim...all I know is I went into his office rash free and came out with a very significant rash.... I am a nurse and acupuncturist..i suspect contamination of something...equipment..iv fluids...would their,office document it...also my 4 extractions with 2 dental implants went terribly awry with pain and infection until I lost a row of teeth and the 2 implants abscessed..what are your thoughts
Hi, Thanks for asking the query,According to your clinical history I suspect that you have developed an infection at the site of i v infusion, I would suggest you to continue with the medications. Abscess at the implants and extraction site can be because of any reasons like poor oral hygiene, food lodgment ant the extraction site, hormonal changes like diabetes, I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done take an x-ray. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope this helps out. Regards.
