Injection site Rash - Helllpppp

Injection site Rash - Helllpppp

Ok after 12 weeks I know the little red rash well that comes after a shot. It usually last a couple weeks then turns into a dry patchy spot that you cant see but can feel the dryness. two weeks agos shot has this big purplish red rash and it seems to be spreading. It is itching like crazy and Im trying not to scratch. The pharmacist where I get my TX meds suggested a benedryl  cream but it isnt helping. That was the only spot I put it on and its the one that im having so much trouble with.
I just called the be in charge nurse and she suggested I call the doc tomorrow morning. That it maybe getting infected. God knows Ive had enough infections lately and I just finished another round of antibiotics yesterday. Can someone help???

Hi Rain,

I’d definitely call the doc tomorrow ASAP and let them know what’s going on; what you describe isn’t typical for injection site reaction. No point in doing the itchy ‘n scratchy show if you can get help,

You're supposed to call the doctor if it's that far outside your norm.  May just mean an antibiotic cream and staying away from that area as an injection site for a while.  Good luck.

I don't have a solution but you aren't the only one.  I have what you have and it itches like crazy then feels like a deep deep bruise, just hurts.  I just try not to scratch as it makes it more irritated and hurts.  Good luck.

Chemistry and Potency of Oregano Oil
Oregano oil contains four main groups of chemicals that contribute to its potent healing powers. Phenols, such as carvacrol and thymol, act as antiseptics and antioxidants, while terpenes, which include pinene and terpinene, exhibit antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties. Linalool and bonreol are two long-chain alcohols found in oregano oil, which add to the antiviral and antiseptic qualities. Esters are potent antifungal agents. Two that are found in abundance in oregano oil are linalyl acetate and geranyl acetate.
Although there is a combined effect of the many significant compounds found in oregano oil, its effectiveness is largely attributed to its primary ingredient, a phenol named carvacrol. When lab tested, carvacrol was found to be one of the most potent antibiotics known to science.1 In tests done at Georgetown University, it was found to be more effective than penicillin, streptomycin and even vancomycin (considered to be the strongest of all antibiotics). Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, oregano oil does not create resistant strains of mutant bacteria. It is able to naturally, and effectively, eliminate any pathogen that is unfortunate enough to cross its path.

iTS OK to use a few drops on the skin mixed with anothe oil...BUT"""


Contra-Indications and Cautions:
Do not use during pregnancy; not for use with children; may irritate sensitive skin. Avoid in cases of liver or kidney disease. Do not use in high doses. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Keep out of the eyes. In large doses essential oils are CNS depressants (i.e. they are toxic to the nervous system). Do not use Oregano oil if you are taking blood thinners in case of a potential interaction.
