Doctors do not know what it is, and are guessing at the treatment. Dermatologist appt. is months away. MetroGel doesn't work Rosiver Cream doesn't work Antibiotic topical does not work Penicillin 3xBid 500mg x 10 days does not work Currently on Tetracycline 3xBid 250mg x 20 days along with Fudicin (cortisone/antibiotic cream) not working.
