I was having a pretty stressful time and luckily had an appointment scheduled to get a facial. I don't have these very often, usually every year or two, but this one felt great considering how bad I was doing emotionally at that time. The sad thing is that night I ended up with two rather large spots on my chest there were ozzing. Well, I had my caregivers use 4x4s to get rid of the discharge and then the next day did the same thing. However, the following day I decided to put on a dressing and needed to shave my really hairy chest in order to accomplish this. Once we saw how nasty these things look after the shaving (I used the trimmer that wouldn't take off any excess skin) I immediately decided to go in and see the doctor.
I just thought I would get advice on how to dress the wounds properly, but he was extremely concerned. He thought it was a bacterial infection or something else. He tried to call dermatology, but they wouldn't see me, even though I have an appointment coming up this Tuesday. Now I am at home with an antibiotic and dressing the wound three times a day. We still don't know if there was something that was transferred during the facial, but I find it difficult to believe that something used on my face could cause so much damage on my chest. Especially when you know that my facial skin is extraordinarily sensitive. I'll let you know what the verdict is when I get back from dermatology on Tuesday. Needless to say, I needed to get a few things off my chest. Quadius
