Successful Treatment of Cutaneous Botryomycosis with a Combination of Minocycline and Topical Heat Therapy

چکیده
Cutaneous botryomycosis is a chronic focal infection characterized by a granulomatous inflammatory response to bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus.

We consider that this simple treatment can be an effective and harmless complementary therapy for cutaneous botryomycosis.
