No. But after numerous notes on my chart as well as phone calls, they agreed for me to come in and see the nurses. They believe the rash is the result of the antibiotic cleaner they are using. They’ve given me prednisone and suggested OTC cortisone cream. The prednisone seems to be making a difference. Although it causes my face to flush and makes it difficult to sleep at night. They are planning to use iodine and alcohol to clean my skin in the future rather than the antibiotic cleanser.
I’ve asked them to note that cleaner as something I’m allergic to.
