eddy Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 also going commando when ever I can. Just checking, but you do know to always go commando on the bike ? .
V12man Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 If I had to give the one that landed me in hospital a name, it would have been Lucifer. Perianal abscesses are not to be taken lightly. They are not - I have seen some that have become virtually untreatable without major surgery to insert a temprorary colostomy bag - just to keep the area clean enough to heal - turns into a really shi..ty story Early treatment is the most advisable option - the ONLY option.... aside from cleanliness as a mandatory preventative measure.
kandui Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) 6 months of antibiotics ( 1 tab a day). I forgot the name, but it wasn't a radical one.Bactroban Nasal Cream ( a matchstick size into each passage twice a day for 5 days consecutively, per month)Peroxide face wash (for heavy acne) to wash the infected area when showering. Lather and leave for 30 seconds , then rinse. Do this as and when required. This regimen sorted me out, finally.I still use the Bactroban from time to time as it does work well used on its own. The Staph bacteria love the nasal passages! How does it work? Bactroban cream and ointment both contain the active ingredient mupirocin, which is an antibacterial medicine. It is used to treat to treat skin infections caused by certain bacteria, in particular methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).The mupirocin works by affecting the bacteria's production of certain proteins that are necessary for their survival. It causes the bacteria to produce abnormal and faulty proteins. This ultimately kills the bacteria and clears up the infection. What is it used for?Bactroban ointment is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as impetigo, folliculitis and furunculosis, in particular those caused by MRSA.Bactroban cream is used to treat traumatic lesions such as small lacerations, sutured wounds or abrasions (up to 10cm in length or 100cm2 in area), that have become infected with bacteria.Read more: http://www.netdoctor...l#ixzz2bGnzhMpHFollow us: @NetDoctor on Twitter | NetDoctorUK on Facebook Edited August 7, 2013 by kandui

One of the worst things for me was that my surgeon was a real comedian! He looked at the anaethetist and asked: "Should we embarrass him or knock him out first?" I'm, like, "Huh?" Then he pulled out the stirrups... ChUkKy and V12man 2

He should have done it under local.... that way he can give you running commentary/comedy... best way to get your money's worth...
Pieter1 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Good idea - before I have to post a pic of Steve... and he is F..ing ugly... started out small though.Finally got the courage to go to the doc. After some touchy feely I got some brick sized antibiotics and antibiotic cream for my nose. The doc said that I should not use saddle cream as this stops the skin from breathing, not to wash my riding shorts with stay soft as this also stops the skin from breathing and also to get out of the shorts as soon as I can. Cheers Gary it's been real. As for my hippie sollution the day after the post I got a new one so that did not work either.
Santa C Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Okay not sure if it will work for you but seems to work for me...My Doc said don't lance them, after a long shower...lol which is always after a ride.Scrub the affected so called 'boil' ( bean size )with a soft brush. ( Gently cause it hurts like hell!!)After shower and scrubbing, dry properly and mix tea tree oil with bepatham cream and put on affected area. 2 things...Never scrub on stage race days, you won't wanna ride the next day and if it is the size of a ping pong ball you need to op that baby out! 'Pressure sores' or internal abcess is very different to an infected hair folical or chaffing down there.Lol if you don't know the difference when you looking down there, then it's probably just a zit or chaffing!
