Suggest Treatment For Rashes, Swelling On Neck And Pus Discharge From Nipples
Question: I believe I am having an allergic reaction to detergent. My neck and breast nipple areola area has broken out in bumps and rash. Itch a lot and swollen. There is some pus coming from the nipple. I tried over the counter medication: Gold bond anti itch, A+D ointment, antibiotic ointment Medicated wipes with witch XXXXXXX and finally Cortizone 10. So far none of these treatments have work. It is going on 3 weeks since I first noticed the symptoms. What recommendation can you give me. My medical share of cost is extremely high and I don't have the money to go to a doctor.
Brief Answer:
Please, you need an antibiotic for this in addition to allergy medications!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this rash and the itches. The rash on the neck is clearly suggestive of an allergy. I will suggest you take Benadryl in addition to keeping away from the suspected cause of the allergy.
My concern at this time is the breast. The picture shows a wound and with your reporting the presence of pus, it means it is infected and will need an antibiotic for treatment alongside wound care. This is the breast we are talking about and to a lady, it is no joke. I will not want to be sorry than being safe.
Though it may be expensive to get consulted now, that seems to be the best way forward. Antibiotics can only be gotten from your doctor. This means it becomes very important to do so. Please, put your health needs first before financial considerations , though it might be difficult.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
