I PMed you about your troubles, but didn't hear any reply back. I still think you should look into melaleuca oil. At the very worst, it won't do a damned thing. At the very best, it'll be a huge help in cleaning, healing, and preventing infection. The only caveats: can't use it during chemo, or in conjunction with homeopathic treatment, and shouldn't be applied to bandages made with plastic. If there are hours when you need to be unbandaged (to let your skin breathe or whatever), that would be the best time to apply the oil. Undiluted, just a drop or two to the infected/affected areas. Definitely ask your physician if it's something he's willing to let you try. It also helps as a topical analgesic, and allergic reactions are probably rarer than this mysterious ailment you have. Treatment for any allergic reaction is simply - ceasing its use. Allergic reactions are always mild: a slight rash, which goes away by itself in a few hours without any medicine at all.
