That can be serious for you. It sounds like you have already seen a doctor, and it may be worth having a second opinion.

Pseudomonas can become resistant to antibiotics, and often a specimen from the infection will be tested by a lab to determine which antibiotic is going to work best.

There is a range of possible antibiotics which the doctor may choose from:
ceftazidime

  • ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin
  • gentamicin
  • cefepime
  • aztreonam
  • carbapenems
  • ticarcillin
  • ureidopenicillins

  • In addition that ulcer may imply trouble with the blood circulation in your legs (which might be old news to you), so ask about treatment for that from the doctor.

    Above all, don't neglect this or try to manage it by yourself.

    What causes ulcers ?

    Stomach and duodenal ulcers are usually due to one of two causes: the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. An ulcer, regardless of the cause, can cause abdominal pain, bleeding, or even cause a hole.

    Gastric and stomach ulcers treatment

    It has been shown that stomach ulcers are usually caused by a bacterium, and are quite curable. Gastric ulcers can be quite different and are often mislabelled, so see a doctor to find out exactly what kind is involved, and the proper treatment.

    My 25yr old son has a corneal ulcer which won't heal fully and keeps re-occurring after antibiotic drops. The ulcer has been treated for almost 4 months but as soon as he discontinues the drops it flares...

    It may be necessary to use a compounding pharmacy to use a anti-bacterial that will treat the ulcer. If he has been to a specialist I assume that the ulcer has been cultured and tested for susceptibility. If the proper antibiotics are being administered then a typical corneal ulcer should heal.
    If the ulcer has been cultured and treated accordingly then there are other factors that are causing the ulcer. There is a possibility of the problem being caused by the Herpes Simplex virus or Ocular Cicatrical Pemphagoid.
    Have your son see a corneal specialist, if that isn't one of the specialists he has seen. To give you a better answer I would need a fuller picture of the previous diagnosis's, cause of the ulcer and treatments that have been attempted already. Good luck with your son. I hope this helps.
