Blisters

Hi Cheri,
You know when my neutrophils were only 0.1 Sept 2007 after three infections I got small white spots on my arms (they are still there) due to fungal infections. Then a dermatologist told me to use a skin lotion called Propyless with 20% propylenglycol (alcohol) to keep skin infections away. I can get this body lotion on a prescription so I don't pay anything for it and I have used it since 2007.

My neutrophils have been very low many times when I have tried drugs that my bone marrow don't like for example Exjade and Thalidomide but I have never had any skin infections again. I am not sure if you can get this lotion in the US but there should be other body lotions that can keep infections away.

Now we only have to wait a few days until we know if you will be accepted for the trial.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
