Having A Rising On Neck. Applied Biactin Ointment But Filled With Pus. Having Sore In Mouth And Skin Is Peeling. Treatment?

Yes, my son had a rising come up on the back of his neck which is the 2nd one and went to his pcp , told him he could lance it or start him on Biactin ointment and to keep it clean. Well it started filling up with puss and it wasn't a boil, so he kept doctoring it til finally drained so he thought it was getting well, Well his pcp and the whole office closed to go on vacation & he started getting sores in his mouth, broke out a spot on his inner thigh, and also a sore showed on his penis,
the skin started peeling away from that and he freaked, got ahold of his doc last week and he just wrote him another antidotic (Biactin) and it got worse so he went in today and the doc said he was having an allergic reaction to an ingredient in the med, he took him off of it right away gave him steroids and something else but I am ,worried about that ingredient which could be in other meds???///

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
You did not mention the medicine that he was prescribed after draining the abscess.
Some antibiotics,anti inflammatory medicines will produce rash in certain areas in few people.
So,if you have any doubt,stop all the drugs prescribed by the doctor.
Apart from steroids,he might have prescribed antihistamines which are used in allergic reactions.
Nothing to worry
Everything will be settled.
Wish him speedy recovery
Regards
