Jane, 32, is an artistic designer and enthusiastic indoor decorator. She lives in northern Queensland and is renovating an old Queenslander.

She came to see you three days ago with a painful inflamed area of skin on her left forearm, 2cm in diameter, surrounding the site of a wooden splinter.

She had completely removed the splinter before attending. She was systemically well at the time with tetanus immunisation up-to-date.

You diagnosed mild cellulitis and prescribed dicloxacillin 500mg orally, four times a day.
