In reply to Cheryl Roy.I've had excellent success in curing an abscess by placing a raw potato over area and using an ace bandage or tape to hold in place while I sleep. By morning abscess is gone and potato is black. Amazing!

In reply to Cheryl Roy.Contact the Centers for Disease Control in the U.S. I read a book called The Lost City of the Monkey God and it is eye opening about the researches and how ill they got from this disease. There are very few places that know how to recognize and deal with this. Insist on a skin punch biopsy for identification. The CDC may know what lab test is required for this but you need treatment as soon as possible. This stuff can kill.

Lismanias is now being found all over the world. There are two strains “old world” and “new world”. I live in Canada but was bitten by a parasite in Cuba October 2016. At first I thought it was a mosquito bite , but it looked very different from those I get back home. The bite was a red center and really itchy. The medical doctor on the resort confirmed it was a mosquito bite and arranged to get an antihistamine to ease the itching. About three weeks after returning home I became very sick with infections starting in the bladder and ending up in the bloodstream. I was immediately given antibiotics by intervenors for the following week. The week following I started breaking out in abscesses on my arms and legs. They look exactly like the pictures of leishmaniasis . Up to now I had no idea of this dsease. It is now March 2018, and after five biopsies, numerous antibiotic med and creams, cortisone ointments, several blood culture tests and still no diagnosis. Today my dermatologist injected each individual sore still refusing to consider leishmaniasis. I wait each day for sores to appear on my face and I am not sure I have the strength to deal with the visual effects that will result in.

I think you should go back to the country you were infected in they will have the right daignosis and cure.the UK and other first wotld countries lack knowledge when it comes to parasitic infections.so your best bet is going back to the source for the cure.
