Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hello everyone, I am really desperate for some alternative help for a serious pseudomonal skin infection that is not responding to allopathic treatment. I delayed a doctor visit for nearly a month hoping that some of the things i was doing ( vinegar compresses, ech/goldenseal, vitamin C) would help kick it, but it has just spread and worsened. And after 4 days on a very strong antibiotic, I see very little improvement. For anyone who does not know, pseudomonas is a bacteria that proliferates in spas, hot tubs, whirlpools, etc, and its nickname is " hot tub folliculitis " . Normally it does not cause too much of a problem, but for some reason I am having great difficulty with it, and it has continued to spread until I am literally head to toe with it, even though I have not been back into a jacuzzi for a long time. I have also been having mild flu-like symptoms that are hanging on as well....tender lymph nodes, head and body aches, etc. According to any literature I have read, it normally does not cause quite this much of a problem, so I don't know what is going on here. I need both topical and systemic ideas for dealing with this, if anyone has any, and would be most grateful for any advice or experience anyone can share. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise. Kim W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
