Already do - I just don’t want the pharmacists to go nutz on me when they see it and make me do something I can’t afford or have to sign over my assets for - or in any way get into any kind of “indigent” system.

I did stop the infection on the underside of the really bad finger. I finally got the dead skin somewhat debrided, but it is still very thin and fragile. I treat that one differently from the rest of the rash that is all on the topsides of the hands and fingers.

Here in PA we have Chip.I think that is what it is called.It is free medical for up to 18 years old.Then they have a Chip for adults.My son-in-law is trying for that because he has run out of coverage on his persciption plan until Jan.He has the shingles.I do know that you have a lot of protection from them saying you are indigent.I am trying to help my sister who is dying and mentally ill and I am not getting anywhere.I just want a visiting nurse but they will only go by what she says.She will not let anyone in.She will not answer my calls so I am going over there on Sunday and see if I can get anywhere with her.

If it's staph, you are putting your life in danger immediately.

If it's not, you are still putting your life in danger because as messed up as your hands sound, you could pick up any number of secondary infections, even the flesh eating bacteria.

Won't your doctor and pharmacist let you charge the bill and pay it off slowly?

Please go to a doctor.
