Day 203 Feb 23 2015 Manila Philippines

Impetigo on Evy's leg 

Day 203  Feb 23 2015  Manila Philippines


The doctor that we took David to see in Cambodia lived up to the poor standards that Cambodian Doctors are famous for.  The doctor had said it was an allergic response to something and prescribed a cream called norash.  It is indicated for the treatment of diaper rash among other things. I had my doubts at the time  as I had never seen an allergic reaction spread with a little blister starting close to the original site breaking and forming  a new  ulcer.  David posterior has still not healed and now Isabel and Evy have the same skin problem showing up on their legs and on Isabel’s scalp.  We are going to try an antibiotic ointment called Mupirocin 2% as Dr. Google’s diagnosis is Impetigo.  We went to for a ride on the MRT to a outlet where we could buy ferry tickets.   We arrived at the store only to find that it had closed for the day about 10 minutes earlier for a monthly meeting and would not be open till the next day.  On the return trip to the house we hit the MRT at rush hour.  We let 3 trains go by until we saw one with sufficient room for us to squeeze into it comfortably.  I could look over the heads of the majority of the people on the train, now I know what it feels like to be tall.
