Ingrown hair or post-op MRSA?
My boyfriend had emergency ortho surgery on an open complicated tib/fib fracture one and a half weeks ago. He’s metal from the right knee down now, and though he’s got no fever, there’s a pretty ugly blister showing up on his forearm. The blister and the redness are about the size of a pencil eraser right now. It’s nowhere near the injury site, but it was a motorcycle accident so he could have had a wound there? I’m wildly intolerant to antibiotics so I need to figure it out now if this is MRSA.
