Context is a stubborn case of "squirrel pox" that gets worse when antibiotics stop. Months.
Symptoms: infection starts with swollen partially black eyelids and sores under and on ears. Ivermectin seemed to help (one dose a week for 2 weeks), but did not cure.
Please share your advice and experience.
We might try the acyclovir next, but concerns over antibiotic resistance, etc.
