Hi Yep, It appears that this staph aureus, can be got on the skin, nose or rectum, The symptoms of MRSA in the rectum can start with pimples or boils. The rectum may be swollen and inflamed with the infection. Small bumps on the skin can quickly turn into painful abscesses that may require draining by a doctor.
Do hope his helps.
My 2 year old developed a bump on her bottom area (almost her back). I'm pretty sure it is a staph infection.. However,today (day 3) it started draining, but it's not like anything I've seen before.. it started out normal yellowish, but then turned basically blackish colored pus. Is this ok/normal? Should I drain it on out, leave it, dr??
On Aug 3, 09, I had a revision of my total hip replacement that had been present for 6 years. The pelvic part had loosened. Three weeks later, I was diagnosed with a Staph infection around the implant. The surgeon took out the pelvic implant, flushed the area and reinstalled another implant. The Staph was sensitive to Cephelaxin(not a MRSA). In November, had hip pain with a recurrent infection. Both implants were removed and an antibiotic spacer was put in.
Sounds like the pus is starting to come out. But if you pick a staph infection it isn't like a pimple it will spread the infection. Try not to touch it. Wash you hands often and use clean towels. You may want to go back to the doctor since you opened it up. If it isn't getting better they may need to change the antibiotic.
It is a staph infection and squeezing it can cause the staph to go deeper into your body. Soak in a hot bath or place warm compresses on it until a head forms then gently ( it will hurt like all get out) rub it with a wash cloth until it starts to drain. When it is draining well you can gently push on the sides to help it drain more.
Thanks!! I'm so sorry you all had to have it drain more than once. I was hoping it would just go away but now I'm not to sure. I haven't been on any antibiotics for about three weeks now and I'm not sure I want to get on any if its not helping?! I would be very surprise if any thing shows on the cultures. When I had my first biopsy in Sept 2010 they sent a sample to culture and sensitive and it came back showing a staph infection. I didn't get rid of the staph until I got I.
Is it Staph epidermidis or Staph aureus. Ask them about that too. If staph epi then it is just normal bacteria and doesn't need treatment if Staph aureus it depends on how much you have of it. If only a few bacteria then they may not treat it but if you have a lot then they will give you an antibiotic. It depends on how what term you are in in your pregnancy if they can give you antibiotics. But the antifungal is a topcial so it should be okay.
So maybe 3 weeks ago I got an abscess underneath my armpit. The had to slice it open and drain it. It's been 2 or so weeks that it's been draining and I found out it was staph infection so they put me on antibiotics. I've been taking the antibiotics for a few days and then one morning I had intense vaginal itching and my vagina was all swollen (I'm sorry for graphics!). I did some research and was 99% sure I had a yeast infection.
Its better to get it drained then to risk the infection getting into your blood stream and causing issues for the baby. It could possibly be staph. Which grows in moist places. All it would take is shaving and having an open pore for the bacteria to get into. Draining it is definitely the best possible solution. It will give you so much relief. Ask for them to out a lidocaine patch or gel there before giving you the numbing shot. That should minimize any pain. Good luck!!
Several months ago i started to have a mild acne on my forehead, I did some exams and came out positive for staph aureus infection and staph epidermidis in two different labs. I took a treatment with antibiotics called ofloxacin 400 mg for ten days, my tests showed to be sensible to this drug. During the treatment the acne almost vanished but after i stopped it the situation was as bad as always.
I recently had some bad staph infection in my axilla region. That's what my doc told me. Suddenly I had like many red pimples in both the axilary regions. Doc gave some antibiotics and the pimples went away in a week. But I still have some small swollen areas. Doc told me they were lymph nodes swollen because of the infection I had. So he prescribed me more antibiotics. My question is "Are swollen lymph nodes caused becuase of the folluclites I had? or is it something else?
Hello,
Since you are having staph infection, so if your girlfriend has been diagnosed with staph infection then chances are there that the infection got transmitted during physical contact like sexual contact or skin to skin contact. It is very surprising that the infection has not shown much results with antibiotics, In such cases, it is advisable to get the culture sample from the sores and a biopsy skin done which will confirm the diagnosis.
I was kept overnight with the presence of strep and staph infection via cultures and blood. I was sent home after 2 days with a diagnosis of VRSA. I was sent home with doxycyclone and pain meds to take every 4 hours. I was told that if I don't see an improvement within 24 hours than I should be seen asap. I was seen again last night. I had a cat scan of my face. There were no abscesses noticed but small pockets of fluid.
Side pain persisted, but we thought that normal, post-operative irritation.
Week 5, fluid began draining from a cyst an inch or so from the wound, 1/3 cup at a time.
Very little obvious redness, no fever, no other symptoms.
CAT scan showed no abnormalities. Minor irritation at the site of the wound.
Drainage clear, weak yellow color. No odor. Diagnosed as staph.
Took antibiotics, drainage stopped. No more fluid at all.
2 weeks later, 1/2 cup of fluid, daily.
The infection could sometimes be MRSA, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus infection is treated by draining the sore and bactrim. Did you ensure to take the medication regularly? Have you completed the course of the medication prescribed? As unfinished doses can further lead to resistance.

d been on morphine for a week and other drug cocktails. I had a staph infection even with intensive care around my stapling, they slammed Vancomycin in my system as soon as they saw the tell tale signs, it's pretty common these days with our generation being given anti-biotics at every sniffle.

Currently, my husband has a staph infection and is on antibiotics. This is number 4 outbreak in a year. He has never had any staph infection before and has an autoimmune disorder since his youth. He suffers from hypothyroidism and alopecia. Why now? How do we get rid of it and is this going to be an issue for a long period. As my son too has an autoimmune disorder, alopecia should I be concern for him as well?
Folicullitis is usually from staph. Under-skin infection may be from staph or strep. Infection usually invades under the skin if there is any (even slight) skin injury, fissure
If it was contact dermatitis (soap, new clothes or washing detergent), there wouldn't be under-skin fluid, I guess.
It may help, if you check in google using "staph scrotum", "celullitis", "staphylococcus groin", "streptococcus groin" and related terms.
