i have 3 spots like this on my leg but not so nasty looking or manly looking, mind you. Never do a search on google for these images, they are gross and scary especially if you have the illness yourself! Oh, i've been doing some reading on it as well and it is most likely i got it because of having really sensitive dry skin on my legs and so it somehow triggered the infection while shaving. I guess i will have to frequent the salon more often.

Recurrent Necrotizing Fasciitis could be a sign of C4 deficiency, although I would assume your physician would have noted such when you had blood work done.

In terms of prevention, the most important thing is probably to be obsessive about providing antisepsis to even the most minor skin injuries. If the problem continues to recur, I've heard that long-term antimicrobial prophylaxis in the form of injections of benzathine penicillin every 2 to 4 weeks, or penicillin VK, erythromycin, or dicloxacillin at 250 mg twice daily are sometimes beneficial.

Best Wishes,

Arbiter

#1 alcohol never hurt anyone, and if anything a deficiency in that area is probably causing the problem.

#2 Fast!

Actually i did do a search for pictures of necrotizing faciitis for biology a year ago. My group had a poster full of pictures and info and the TA never posted our poster up Anyways, i should probably save myself from writing descriptions about later phases of the disease, as you probably know what it looks like

Anyways, best of luck and i hope the thing you have isn't painful.
