i have what the doctor and i thought was a spiderbite it might have turned to MRSA or not .they lanced it and took a colture and then the doctor "packed"with what just looks a mini gause strip supposedly the idea is to not close it up so it can drain and through this process heal .i would have thought they would have given me some type of topical cream to use to keep the wound from getting more infected or at least put somethig like that on there in the first place.what should i use on it to keep it from getting more infected ??.sunday i will go in and they will hopefully unpack my arm

I worked In a Dr. office and hospital. You should use peroxide to kill the germs, that will help to dry it up also.Do that 2 times a day. Some dumb Dr's. might tell you not to, but it will kill germs fast and help it to heal faster. Then during the day you need to let it get some air and sun light. Also take at least 2000 milligrams of vitamin C everyday! That is natures natural antibiotic. You CAN NOT take too much vit C because your body gets rid of so fast. I take it EVERYDAY, and I NEVER get sick or get infections!!!!!!!!!!

medicated vaseline will kill bacteria and keep it moist, also clean with Hydrogen Peroxide....good that the doc is letting it drain and heal like that, some think they need to do surgery and wind up causing massive scarring and damage, whereas they 'usually' will heal up quite well on their own.....lancing isn't even required sometimes as a wound will open naturally and drain, this friend of mine had that happen to him and he pulled some latex type stuff out of his arm after some weeks and then it healed right up.

I like solercane... it is a can liquid spray... stings, but works good on almost anything!
