Off to the doctor again!

The day before yesterday Monkey developed a red patch on his cheek. He has such sensitive skin that I thought maybe he had eczema starting up again. It usually starts on his face. So yesterday the problem seemed to be getting worse, and the red patch started looking almost like a blister and eventually by bath time it had started weeping (ugh!). So, I thought eczema could do this but when I looked at pictures it was nothing like that, so I made an appointment this morning for him and off we went. We just had Bubs at the doctor over a week ago for an ear infection and they both had colds but Monkey seems to get over this stuff…he has never had an ear infection as opposed to Bubs who has had close to 10! We are now looking into tubes for him, UGH! Anyway we took Monkey in and he apparently has a staph infection or otherwise known as impetigo eek! This stuff is very contagious for the first 24 hrs of antibiotics. The doctor did a culture just to make sure it isn’t something else. So I went and got the medicine, which Monkey doesn’t like by the way! So, that was a oy getting him to swallow the stuff LOL. I hope it goes away soon, poor bubba’s face looks awful!
