I have heavy growth of enterobacter gergoviae on my face with inflamed bumps that are pustule like rapidly spreading that itch and burn. My Dr. doesn't seem to be concerned but I am. I'm a healthy 31 year old woman (as far as I know). Is there something I should be concerned about?
What else can I help you with?
