Sores On Arm Due To MERSA. Allergic To Bactrum. Swollen, Itchy Lymph Node Behind Head, Ear. Solution?
I have been dealing with sores on my arms that will not heal for over a year now. Doctor told me it is Mersa (MRSA) I recently went back to Doctor and I was given Bactrum & another antibiotic that started with a "C" I am allergic to both medications. I now have swollen lymph nodes on the back of my head & behind my ear & also more sores on my head and neck that itch. I have felt like crap for over a year and can't get an answer to what is wrong with me. I am tired of feeling like crap. Please help.

Hello,
If the ulcer is not healing due to MRSA infection then there are higher antibiotics available which will help in curing the infection and in turn wound healing.
Consult your doctor and request for Pus culture and sensitivity test.
Based on the report the sensitive antibiotic can be used.
