Answer to Medical Challenge.


The answer to yesterdays Medical Challenge is
B: Staph impetigo. The patient spread the infection by shaving. He was treated with a topical antibiotic and an oral antibiotic to cover methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The rash resolved without a problem.

Thanks for your good guesses!

Yep, had an even worse case than that, all over the chin, lips, upper lip. Went through 2 GPs (one of which gave me anti-viral cream to basically spread the bacteria everywhere, thanks doc!), infectious disease specialist, and finally derm before a correct diagnosis was obtained 2 weeks later. Not fun!

I hate this picture because when I was young I have a lot of this things in my face and lips, so I used a plant called reroty and this problem stoped.

About Me

My Photo
Toni Brayer, MD
I am an Internal Medicine physician who has practiced for over 20 years in Northern California. I was previously the President of the SF Medical Society and Chief of Staff at a large academic medical center. I am currently the Chief Medical Officer for a large hospital/physician System in Northern California. My practice is smaller now but caring for patients is still the most important part of my work. I love taking care of patients one:one as well as influencing health care at a larger level. The information on this site is not designed to replace a physician's advice. This site is self funded.
