OK this is going to be a long post. I am a 21 year old healthy female who for the past year have been getting extremely painful abscesses. They do not just occur in one specific spot of the body, I have had them every where (my forehead, elbow, stomach, hips, thighs, calves, and even the tops of my feet). I have seen the doctors and all they do is prescribe me more and more pills to take, sometimes it is a combo of pills sometimes it is just one pill. They are all antibiotics. I have never had them lance the abscess and I have had abscesses that create a red circle around it that measured close to 4 inches across my thigh. :-( Some combinations of pills worked while I am on them and then when I am off of them they never fail to come back. I have had 5 abscesses in the past 3 weeks, 2 of which were on my hip, one on my thigh, one on my elbow, and the current one on my face. I have read that facial abscesses are serious so I went to an emergency room and the doctor was awful he did everything that was not recommended.. No numbing and he dug into it with a hollow 18 gauge needle and squeezed, then informed me verbally and on paper to squeeze it 3-4 times a day of which I know you do not do because it can push the infection further. This was all he did and i had a fever, loss of appetite, my throat was sore, and in extreme pain. He prescribed me Tylenol for pain, and Keflex of which I have been on multiple times before. This also worries me due to the fact of how many antibiotics I have been on and I know that the body develops immunity to antibiotics. I have not had a referral to an infectious doctor, seems almost impossible, they just want to keep feeding me pills. I just moved to Las Vegas, NV and have an insurance from Ca (Heritage Health Network, High Desert Medical) and don't even know where to start out here to get this taken care of because I do not want to go back to that urgent care or keep getting these abscesses. Any help would be greatly appreciated, please!
