While we were there, he heard Andrew coughing so he decided to listen to him. He said that he is very close to needing a prescription. Dr. Wang doesn't like kids on antibiotics for just anything. I love that about him. So before we left this is the conclusion we came to... He gave us the prescription for the antibiotic. In a day or so, if Andrew's cough gets any worse, then get the prescription filled. He prescribed one that will be good for his 'cold' and for skin infections.
I thought that was a good decision, and I'm feeling pretty comfortable. It still looks bad, but hopefully we'll see some progress from here on out. Oh, and I took my camera this time and showed him the progression pictures. (I know, I'm slightly crazy)

This is for sure a spider bite. My andrew had the same thing except on the bottom of his foot when he was about 1 year old. His doctor said that it was a spider bite. His doctor however popped the blister and packed it with antibiotic cream and covered it. He said to clean it out good once a day and re-apply the cream and cover. I had to do this for 1 week and then he said to let it air out and it should be fine.
WOW!! Glad you got to your trusted doctor... amazing that the other doctor sent you home with no other precautions.... frustrating!!
And I don't think you're crazy to bring along your camera with the pictures on it!! I've snapped plenty of food allergy reaction pictures AND taken them to the allergist... he thought I should give him copies ot keep them on record!!!
And after many attempts to get the allergist appointments through my pediatrician... I showed her my pictures off my camera...
appointment made!!
