Question:

Should I go to the hospital if not satisfied with doctors diagnosis?

I went to the doctors on Mon with awful itchy red rash on both of my arms. It started off with two small spots on my left arm. Not sure if they were bites or not. There was only 1 Dr on so I saw the nurse who told me it was shingles. I had been on the int and it says norm only on one side of the body. I was told to have Nurofen and use anti viral cream. I carried on taking Nurofen I went back to Drs on Thurs as both my forearms had swollen i look like popeye and obviously infected.I had to see the nurse again as no drs avail. I am a Beauty Therapist and work with clients which I did 7 clients on the Wed as they said Shingles is fine as long as they not preg. or had ch. pox The dr was called in and diag me as having impetigo I cdnt believe it i cd have passed it onto my clients.I hv bn given penicillin. Day2. my arms r very itchy, I dont know what to do with myself kp crying with pain.My lymph nodes in both arms r painful and my left lymph node is painful when arm down.Do I go to hosp


Answers:

If you were my beauticial I would not see you again as you were wrong to work whatever the diagnosis - clients could be pregnant and not know yet, how irresponsible are you??? And no you should not go to hospital, they are for emergencys - not for people who have been given treatment and need to be patient and let the penicillin do its job - what do you expect the hospital to do?
