Tyson,

After I got MG I also got a minor skin infection. I had lots of testing done to figure out what it was (blood and skin tests) and the conclusion was that it may have something to do with allergies, but that I definitely have folliculitis. The doctors were really no help, they gave me topical antibiotics which made it go away and then return worse than ever after the treatment was over.

I finally found a solution that doesn't make my MG symptoms worse and it seems to be clearing up my problem...tea tree oil...it makes the itchiness go away immediately and the infection hasn't returned to the treated areas. I was applying it 2 to 4 times a day for 2 weeks to the itchy spots as recommended. I am feeling much better.

I hope you get this figured out, skin problems are no fun and seem to be hard to treat.
