Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pseudomonas skin infections tuons can be treated with a combination of an aminoglycoside e.g gentamicin or amikacin along with a beta lactum antibiotic like either ceftazidime or ceftriaxome.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Dr. Kakkar S.

Good answers. Will talk to local Skin Infection Specialist about this tomorrow, and follow up
with primary doctor next day. I don't know why they had me on medications that seldom work. I think it was the XXXXXXX day holiday, and none of the real specialists on this were available.

Thank you... XXXXXXX J. XXXXXXX
