Derm round 10


The same lady with ?deep fungal infection (Derm round 4, case 2), was discharged and followed up in the clinic. The initial swab C&S grew Staphylococcus aureus (Sensitive to Cloxacillin). She was treated earlier with IV Unasyn and Metronidazole for one week. She had also been given two weeks of oral Cloxacillin.

Currently, the lesions appeared to have dried up, but her left foot was still edematous. There were thick scale-like lesions on her left foot, which bled on removal of the scales.

Still unsure what this lesions were due to. I was comtemplating to do a skin biopsy next.
