Myobacterium Marinum infections suck.

This is after 2 weeks of antibiotics...actually looked much worse. I thought I had leprosy.

Please don't do maintenance with a cut on your finger.

I had one of these a while ago too. Doc gave me some stuff and it cleared it up but dang, do they suck.

According to a case study that studied 63 cases of Myobacterium Marinum, 84% were fishkeeping related.

took them a while to figure out what it was. They did a culture to confirm it.

Yikes. thanks for that. I have a small cut on my finger right now, and was doing maintenance yesterday. I washed it and put neosporin on it afterwards. Hope that works.

You got off easy! My left arm after lancing a mycobacterial granuloma. Got it exactly the same way you did.

Btw here's mine all healed. Hey at least it isn't on your face, right?
