I had real bad psoriasis a few years ago, I had the blotches on my arms and legs and the soles of my feet and palms were peeling skin super bad.
I thought it would kill me but my local doctor just gave me a shot and prescribed a pill pack or a pill book of something.
It cleared right up, plus it was cheap.
This spring I had a little outbreak on my right calf and I put “MG217 coal tar” from Walmart on it.

Grandmas Lye Soap, or GRANDPAS Pine Tar Soap. (Both at Amazon). Used more than 15-years now. Nothing else. Soap and as shampoo (no, it’s not as good. So what?)
Both are better for your skin. No products with sodium lauryl sulfate. (Get a real short haircut. Like a man who works). No body wash, etc.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN.
I’ve been using Turbo Power Plus multivitamin sold at Love’s. Liquid. That took care of getting run down. I was surprised as had other regimen. I’ve used more than a year; bottle lasts a month. Weight better and now rarely grab a Red Bull. My son cracked up at its bad name. Now he asks me to pick it up for him.
Other than that I use the TS showers at 0300. Usually a lot cleaner than with a crowd waiting at 1900.
Lysol always a good idea. But it has to stand awhile first.
Take no chances near the border. 100-miles inland. Even the C store (as in don’t use it).

Bursitis is a swelling and irritation of the bursa which is a membrane sac that surrounds and cushions joints such as the elbow from the tendon. Bursitis is most often brought on by smacking your elbow on something, hitting your funny bone, etc. Often you don’t even remember hitting your elbow until you get the swelling and pain as a reminder.
The ONLY other possibility would be septic bursitis in which bacteria would have entered the bursa by way of a gash or cut on the elbow which you then used the washcloth on. Again very, very, unlikely even if you got the washcloth out of a trash can on unflushed toilet.
Since you also have psoriasis, I would be more inclined to believe that all of your issues are signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis not a dirty washcloth. My wildest guess would be that the doctor put you on a common antibiotic and NSAIDs like ibuprofen to help with any pain and swelling. This protocol will treat the symptoms however you should work with your primary doctor to find and treat the underlying cause.
Although I am not a doctor, I do have a practice on Facebook and perhaps my diagnosis and suggestions will lead you to a cure. Kindly watch your mailbox for a bill for my consultation services fee.
Good luck and have a nice day! -

Hospitals and other acute care facilities have been known for a long time to have real problems with MRSA.
The last few years have seen a significant decline in the spread. The most interesting part of it was finding that going back to some low tech and old ways of doing things was the key to reversing the trend. Citrus extracts, most notably grapefruit, are extremely effective .InTooDeep Thanks this.
