Granny's gone and done it again

Resident emergency medic (for our farm and any friends that get themselves hurt) here. I agree. That needs to be looked at by a wound specialist. I had a cat bite on the back of my hand that looked a lot like that. It was quite a fight keeping it from getting infected without going to a doc. On the up side of things, I learned from experience long ago that Banixx or Vetericyn work great on human wounds too. You could try that until you get to a doc. Raw, pure honey as well.
Thanks, BRGirl... I've been putting honey on it at night and it helps. Don't know if you've seen the history on this, but I have been to Urgent Care twice, been on ABX, steroids and ABX ointment, plus an ABX shot when none of that did any good. But now I'm starting to feel a little ill and am worried about it going systemic if we don't get a handle on it. I've been septic before and don't wanna do that again.
 
Warning, ugly pic coming up, but Granny asked for it, so ...

Silly girl, they don't expect you to HOLD it!

Okay, here's what my leg looks like this morning. Looks like somebody went at it with a tire jack, lol! But I have decided it is just a weird allergic reaction to whatever bit me. All the redness is just in the skin though it looks like a big bruise. It has extended down to the poison ivy now.

I think it is not as DARK red as it has been, it's starting to lighten up a bit. And no, I have not yet heard anything re my labs. If I don't hear anything by about noon, I will call them.

Time for chicken chores. Back in a bit!
Ow, better get this checked, kooks like cellulosis!
