Common Questions and Answers about Staph skin infection nose
infection
Then after that the boils kept returned and I did some research on the internet and was pretty with it was a staph infection, then I got tested by the doctors and while they were kinda vague, was apparently a staph infection in my nose.
That was almost a year ago, though I've had several minor boils since then. Now my left nostril is swelling up and has become very painful, red & sore.
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.
In that case, you must see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) as soon as possible to make sure there is no viral infection of your eye.
Impetigo, a bacterial infection, usually caused by Staph aureus. This infection is highly contagious and needs to be treated with antibiotics.
And there are many others. I recommend a consultation with a dermatologist as soon as possible to determine the cause of your rash.

I have had a MRSA infection inside of my nose, your nose is the most sensitive part, I had to see a ear, nose, thorat doctor for, mine, they actually went inside my nose to drain the sore, I was also under the care of an infectious doctor, but if were me, just because I know how nasty MRSA is, I wouldn't wait, I would go to my doctor and tell him what I was experincing.
Ok - I went to the ENT Dr. (ear, nose and throat) / Otolaryngologist 10/23. She just looked inside my nose and said that it's a sinus/staph infection. She said it's not the serious staph and that everyone has staph in their nose. She put me on a second round of antibiotic right away instead of messing around with the first round because she thought that they swelling was unusual.
Tired of being sick and would love a cure and it all is coming together after my doctor said it looked like I had a staph infection which affects your heart, lungs, kidneys and skin ect. everything I had issues with and some of issues my daughter has had. SO if it can stay in your body forever and the antibodic just treat it while it is flared up and mask it would there be anything that would get it out of your body for good?
Would being infected with staph bacteria on my skin (nose) affect my hiv antibody/antigen test? I did have a scare as I was drunk and couldn’t remember using protection for vaginal sex. I do have an on going staph infection when I decided to test for HIV after 5 months & it was negative thankfully. So would having this staph infection affect the results of my hiv test?? Would it affect my immune system and cause a false negative?
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.
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.
I am just researching staph bacteria that live undetected upon skin usually inside nose for sure, but also on top of skin waiting for an opening or scratch or even a hair follicle opening. Staph bacteria apparently can be or go anywhere, but most commonly deals with skin. The MRSA, is a staph bug which developed strength against antibiotics through past wars, its offspring passed on to other people.
You can use non-talc powder in the private areas and be sure if you have any boils or scabs to wash the towels each time as well as any shirts and so forth to not reuse them. The nose can carry staph as well and you can reinfect yourself that way.
If those things are not the problem you may have resistance to the antibiotic they gave you. The treatment for community acquired MRSA (if you have that) is now daptomycin plus tigecycline. Otherwise, you can get resistance and the staph grows back.
My two decades of my own research - not these doctors is that it could be related to staph infection of the nose! I started taking large amounts 2000 mg + /day to combat this and have great success with it. I'm not consistent with it, so the symptoms return. My doctor won't give me a round of the very strong anti-biotic and has not offered to take a culture of it.
i had the allergy testing on my arms and he took a swab through my nose and throat. im on antibiotics now for the staph infection for two weeks but it doesnt seem to be helping. im not on any medication for the flare ups because we dont know what is causing it. unless theres a univeral medication to help lower the flare ups of the skin for anything.
I have been to 3 different ENTs, one tested me for staph - came back moderate staph (not MRSA) and took Keflex for 10 days-no improvement. Tested again 5 days after last culture and came back negative. Said I should use Bacitracin for a year as Bactroban burned.
(I am allergic to all antibiotics but 2 and most other drugs-happens over time)
2nd ENT said Bacitracin irritates and easy to get allergic to it. Already allergic to Neosporin.
Hi
I do not think so since a staphylococcal infection usually affects the skin and in cases wherein the infection follows surgery , it is the skin or the surgical site which is affected. As for nerve damage, viral infections wherein the organisms usually stay dormant within the nerve, may more likely cause nerve related symptoms. Nerve damage occurs due to lack of blood supply which may be secondary to a blood clot, inflammation or spasms caused by an infection or vascular problems eg stroke.

Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria, a type of germ commonly found on the skin or in the nose of even healthy individuals. Most of the time, these bacteria cause no problems or result in relatively minor skin infections.
But staph infections don't always remain skin-deep. In some circumstances, they may invade your bloodstream, urinary tract, lungs or heart.
I have a staph infection the starts on the corners of my mouth. I went to see a Dermatologist and we took a culture. He informed that is was Staph. I don't remember which version. I was given Bactroban and some oral, I think Moxcecilin (sp?) as I pehnotically spell it.
It cleared up. A few days later it came back. I took the oral and the bactroban did nothing. It spread to my ear, genitals, and my nose. I got another prescrption for the oral. It cleared up.
I have two tiny red bumps under my septum that doesn't itch and looks like a couple of pimples. I dismissed it when I saw them form a few days ago as I every once in a while will get pimples around my face area. But I am not prone to severe acne.
Today the two pimples look as though they are filled with pus. They tingle slightly but no itching or burning. I have been having sinus issues and blowing my nose all week. Been feeling great other than these typical sinus issues.
The sinus rinse has helped the mucus in my nose but still it’s so irritated inside! I swear it’s staph but maybe I am wrong. I am not looking for trouble. I hope I am wrong & it’s something stupid. Again did creams & some antibiotics. Maybe it’s a fungal thing. Been using Xylitol which is antifungal. The side of nose is tender too. But again had scans inflammation & cyst/polyp. Ideas???
