Can clindamycin treat herpetic whitlow of index finger?
I get the same exact blistered infected bubble/blister on my index finger atleast 2x a yr and well ive been told its mrsa cellitus abscess and herpetic whitlow......everytime i get this i do not open up the blister but a red streak goes up to my shoulder.i just got another one 3days ago n yesterday went to er because i knew i need iv antibotics to stop red streak...however i told doc it was herpes and she still decided to slice it open only to see thats its infected tissue n not pus than she prescribes me clindamycin.im not a doc but i kno from past that acycrovir works best.......can i prevent out breaks?etc?
Hi its best to have it swabbed to confirm whitlow but if its not painful it would not be considered whitlow
