9. I also have cellulitis in my legs at this time.

Went to urgent care and prescribed Doxycilin(sp?), 2 tabs per day, as well as 2.5% hydrocortisone for itching.

I thought the Doxycilin was a pretty strong medicine, as I didn't always feel very good when taking it.
Completed 10 day course and it's not completely gone.

Don't know that I want to return to the urgent care doctor right away, though I felt she was a good diagnostician, etc.
Am concerned what else may be going around while in the waiting room.
Besides, it's not bothering me that much at the moment
