Hi all--this is the first time I've been on this forum, but I need some advice with a staph infection I've had for 3 weeks. I woke up with what looked like an ingrown hjair with a whitehead under my arm 4 saturdays ago--by evening my armpit was swollen. The next day i new I had a problem, I was guessing MRSA, which I had 3 years ago because of how quickly it got so swollen.

Morphologic patterns that may occur include: bullous impetigo, ecthyma, folliculitis, hidradenitis-like plaques, abscesses, cellulitis, and pyomyositis.

t get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.

Then it could be an abscess and may need to be drained. It could most probably be a staphylococcal infection. The treatment of choice for S. aureus infection is penicillin.

I was taking it for a minor staph infection, which has gone away. My doctor is currently on vacation. I was not able to get my hands on Florastor or similar probiotics but I did consume yogurt and kefir. Will that help, or are supplements more efficient?

i am being treated for possible infection of Chlamydia and gonorrhea. I understand its common to treat for both when one is suspected. My problem is that i don't handle antibiotics well. azithromycin is not an option for me. doxycycline is not great either.

My Gyn, bless he pour little heart, was heart broken that this happened to me. They opened the wound a tiny bit to let the staph infection ooze. He called in a surgeon to oversee, just to make sure he was on top of everything. They are still waiting on the final word on cultures to see what kind of staph it was to see if they will have to add to my med to get rid of it completely and to see if my kids will have to be treated if it is MRSA. YUCKY week for me, but, oh well. I'm back now!

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.

Vaginal boils can be due to infection, STD or it can be a Bartholin cyst. Apart from the tests for this also get tested for diabetes and hypothyroidism.

Went to a Ureologist who looked at it and said it was nothing more than a skin infection. He used the word staph aand mrsa. Ive never heard of that happening there and i asked why it returned in the same spot and he said it happens. He gave me Clyndamicyn and it helped and it was 6 weeks ago. Yet the area is still pink and somewhat sensitive (not bad though) I never saw anything that looked like blisters etc etc. But when I would clean it there would yellow and green ****...

My dermatologist said that I will basically have a staph infection forever and will have to treat is as needed. Is this a proper diagnosis? Why can't I get rid of it? I have already tried antibiotics and other drugs that have helped for a while but it comes back.
