A&E

Went to A&E as the mark had clearly become infected. Appeared as a small hole, painful when touched (indicating infection).


Looked at by a doctor. Noted as being roughly a square inch in area. Packed with Aquacel and told to return every two to three days for redressing at the Walk-In Centre.


Prescribed Flucloxacillin.

First Visit to Doctor

Saw my first doctor at Robert Darbishire about the lump on the top of my right leg and the dark mark on my back which would later turn out to be the first leishmaniasis wound.


Told that the mark was nothing to worry about and looked like it was headling and that the lump was a swollen lymph node due to infection somewhere.


Blood test taken. Came back clear a week or so later.
