I took Sulfameth and Doxycycline for a week, and the skin in the area absolutely freaked out. The staph infection cleared, but I got this bumpy rash immediately adjacent to my vagina. I was concerned that it could be herpes because I had had sex with a new partner (we used condoms, but there was maybe a five minute period once when there wasn't a condom involved) about a month before the staph infection.
They have stuck with the idea that this is a staph infection, even though the culture from my nose turned up staph but nothing drug-resistant, and presumably this should have been cleared up by the ointment. I've been washing both my hands and face with antibacterial soap this entire past month, and this month I refrained from taking any pain killers for my period just in case there was some allergic tie-in with the naproxen I've taken in the past.
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.
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?
The Hibiclens is a good idea for a topical cleanser and Doxycycline for 7 days is usually what is recommended, but they can also prescribe Oral Rifampin with the Doxy.. You can also get a topical ointment that fights against Staph called Mupirocin. Another good Oral antibiotic used a lot is Bactrim or Septra, SMZ-TMP. Im sure they did a sensitivity on the culture swab and ran it against all oral antibiotics to show any sensitivity resistance. If not then they need to do so ASAP.
She said it was tender when she would bump it and it did stick up. She had it removed and they found staph infection in it. It took a while to heal and turned out to be much bigger than it looked. She had a time with it keeping it open to drain. You may want to go to a dermatoligist to have a look at it. Even spider bites can get infected and cause problems, especially if you have already used topidal antibiotic and a prescription, and did not help.
I had a break out in my mouth last week and by Friday I had a sore on the bottom of my foot that woke me up because of the pain shooting up my leg. Went to doctor and he thinks it is a staph infection put me on antibodic and gave me a shot. Told me if it got worse to go to hospital. I have had these same sores for over 8 years and repeated upper respiratory infections.
So a few weeks ago I got this big boil on my waist that was like an ingrown hair and eventually after about a week went away on its own. You could still see discoloration there but there's no bump and no more pain. However, now I have one on my butt and it's almost the same thing. So I went to the doctor and they told me that it's a bad staph infection and they prescribed me Bactrim. Before I took it the boil was very painful and it hurt to even sit down.
