Question: Which is best to use on a skin infection!? Clindamycin, or Cephalexin!? For a face skin infection!?
Answers:
It depends on what you're talking about!. Do you have cellulitis (red, warm skin, usually intact)!? Or, do you have open sores that look infected!? The type of bacteria that commonly cause skin infections vary!. I work in a wound clinic, and for a simple cellulitis, Keflex is often used as a first choice for treatment!. But, if you have open sores on your face, it could be something else (like Impetigo)!. Sometimes, those will respond to topical treatment like Mupirocin ointment!. You really need to have someone look at it and diagnose the problem!. If the skin is broken, they may want to take a culture and sensitivity testto determine what is causing the infection and what medication it is sensitive to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
