Usually for skin/surgical procedures they give Cephalexin (Keflex) or another newer version of it. Or Augmentin.
These don't show up on lists as neurotoxic. However...the penicillins used LONG term like for Lyme, may have consequences long term on mitochondria. Short term use however, should be ok.
I'd clean those areas well for several days, with rubbing alcohol as well, to prevent any staph infections.

I will have my skin biopsy on march 26. He told me that I will have to take antibiotics after. After reading your thread on antibiotics causing neuropathy I am concerned taking any antibiotics.
In your opinion and glenntaj's too, is it necessary to take the antibiotics or can I forego or are there antibiotics that are "safe" to take without affecting the nerves?
I appreciate your feedback.
Btw, the neuro asked me to take glucose tolerance test. I don't if this will help, I have never had problems with my sugar. Will update you.
Thanks again.
