Sounds like an abscess. If it is red and hot, he needs to go to ER. Sorry for all the problems. I do know how you feel.

Is he on any antibiotics? I imagine he's on Bactrim and Acyclovir, like I am.

Hmmm. I'm on Bactrim for 6 mos. (until the end of April) and on Acyclovir for I don't know how long. If Al is on no antibiotics he needs to keep himself and his hands scrupulously clean.

Sorry, Elle, I don't have a clue what drug that is. Does he wear a mask when out in crowds or around strangers? I wore one all afternoon at Walmart today.
