last night I had a 25 year male patient in with staph folliculitis.......of the GROIN. man, i tell you, this stuff was disgusting......the poor guy's entire pubic area was covered in weeping sores, and did it smell BAD! ughh! i felt so sorry for him, he's a former IV drug user who's now terrified of needles (he gave himself cellulitis a couple of years ago and it almost killed him), he's morbidly obese, and now he's got this incredibly ugly, odoriferous rash all over his genitalia.......PLUS a wound on his right buttcheek from a spider bite that's already been debrided twice and will undoubtedly need to be done again. WOW. yet immidiately after i went and ate lunch haha.
