@Renatha - months after I finished surgery/chemo/rads a very nasty infection occurred along my scarline. The area was hot to touch and red, and my GP immediately sent me to my surgeon's office. The surgeon prescribed 2 scripts of Staphlex antibiotics, and followed up with a 3rd script before he was satisfied. They didn't waste any time at all! Please see your surgeon if you can - and definitely ask your GP for follow-up antibiotics if it hasn't cleared up. As @zoffiel says, the results are not worth it! Best of luck. Michelle
