A possible procedure

I went to my dermatologist today because the lesion on my head is getting worse even being on cipro. She wants me to see an infectious disease doctor on Monday. After that, a doctor in her office might go in their surgically and clean the wound out. Then the doctor would graph skin from another part of my body to cover this area on my skin. The dermatologist has convinced my GI to hold off on starting the Stelara until this lesion is healed.

Well, at least they are doing something. I'm glad you got it investigated. It's probably best that you don't start a biologic with an infection. With Remicade I was warned to report all infections immediately. Take care Ron!
