Sores are not limited to face picture 2 shows the scars left very round. That sore on cheek fells as if crab ppinchers really trying to pull it closed from the inside,, hurts way more than a small sore should. They took a culture that showed no m..e .r..s..a. I believe that was all it was tested for

Brief Answer:
Skin infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
It appears to me as bacterial infection
As you have been tested for mrsa and its negative means it is not resistant to methicillin
i would advise you to apply ointment t bact on these lesions.
Also take tablet amoxyclav 625 twice daily for one week
medicines will be available only on prescription
also please get your blood sugar levels and other investigations i asked for done..
For pain take paracetamol SOS
PLEASE TELL ME IF U ARE TAKING ANY CHRONIC MEDICATIONS LIKE FOR BLOOD pressure OR ANYTHING else
YOU CAN follow up with ME anytime

Brief Answer:
Metallic taste

Detailed Answer:
HI
sir the lesions you are having look to be bacterial..until and unless you will take antibiotics properly, they won't subside..the topical mupirocin ointment you are using,continue with that. But also take amoxyclav i told u..antibiotics are same for everyone because they are for treating infection..even the pets are given when they need..
The merallic taste is becayuse of marijuana..
Instead of this, take tablet zerodol sp three times daily
tablet pantoprazole once daily
one more advise is that, you can visit a skin specialist also..otherwise take the medicines i recommended
Thanks and regards

I do not agree with Marijuana being the cause of the metal taste and tongue being stuck to roof of mouth. I have smoked weed for 40 yrs.never had that problem also have discussed this with my holistic Dr. There are no studies in which this has been a reported side-effect. There has to be a different reason for9 this

Brief Answer:
Metallic taste

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Most people who use marijuana are familiar with the side effect referred to as ‘cottonmouth’, meaning that users experience an uncomfortable feeling from lack of saliva production.

A survey published in the journal of Addiction Research & Theory in 2003 found that 79% of marijuana users experience this.

You can check this online. I just want to say that decreased saliva production cause taste alteration and also the way you said tongue touches the roof,that is what is called COTTONMOUTH.

Hope i have cleared your doubt and the survey i have mentioned will make the point more obvious.
