He visited dermatologist in physician's office and was diagnosed with folliculitis. The folliculitis was spreading like the ivy poison, the dermatologist prescribed a cream that did not help. He was put on antibiotic course which helped a little in subsiding the effects. Later, he had rash on upper chest, upper left shoulder and neck for about a week. Rashes were located on collar that could break out, top of shoulder where he had shot and across his chest. He had spots on face, back, chest and head that looked like chicken pox and the rashes were itchy.
