What is your history with Staph or MRSA?

A biopsy was taken from an inflamed, itchy area in the center of my chest in 2/08. The results, as told to me by my doctor, were that I had an infected spider bite. Since then I have had a recurring severe itch with a pimple that spread in the upper crotch area of my buttocks. Also, there was a redness on my upper part of my left hand and I was prescrbed antibiotics.

check for mrsa....

i am on antibiotic for the forth time if any body has any idea of what to take to get rid the mrsa for good please let me know.

Since 2/07 I have had 14 MRSA outbreaks on my legs, chest and buttocks; along with MONTHLY outbreaks in both ear canals. Each occourance leaves a tale-tell purpilish scar in its' wake. I have taken all precautions and every antibiotic imaginable prescribed by some of the best ID specialists in the area but sadly, nothing seems to work.It seems to have found a suitable host and will not go away. So I just live with it. The ear infections are by far the most painful. The canals emit an oily fluid marking the onset of a new outbreak and itch terribly.The pain increases as the eruptions begins, lasting for 4-5 days before lesion lances itself and the sore begins to heal.The pain at that time will feel like a hot needle and last for a day or so. This has nearly driven me to the point of suicide; it is simply unbearable at times.

I have been dealing with mrsa for over a year now and it is just now trying to heal but then I get new ones that come back as well, I even have two round purple round marks on my left cheek as well who wants mrsa on their face. Its bad enough that I have it on my stomach, my thighs, breasts and behind. This is the most devastating infection that i have ever encountered in my life. I really want to heal from this. I did work in an elementary school and I quit my job I am going to continue to look for a solution and continue to be proactive because this infection is no joke It has affected my life in so many ways.

oh my some of those pictures are actually kind of scary. I had staph infection one time, I thought it was a spider bite at first (we have alot of brow recluse spiders here in Texas). It ended up being staph, the doctor said it was probably from wearing some damp clothes I had near the window sill.

I have been living with MRSA for 4 years now! I've had 6 outbreaks and currently suffering from one now! I've been to the ID specialist and all they say is I'll have to live with. I have scars on my face stomach and leg! Normally when I get it they start me on double dose of septra! I've now started washing with Hibiclens (spelling)! The ID specailist also has a cream to put into your nose and another antibiotic to work with the septra! I pray no one has to deal with this disease! It is so painful! I just wish someone could give me an answer of why does it continue to come back!

my son my have this mrsa and he may have gotten it by skateboarding and im freaking out because of it not liking this one bit and when i leave work i will be cleaning my house with bleach, what i dont understand is that my son is one of the cleanest little boy's I know He showers everyday and uses a new towel everyday. He funny like that. I just dont know how he could get something like this.

I HAVE HAD A LOT OF STAPH INFECIONS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. I HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW, ON THE INSIDE THIGH OF MY RIGHT LEG. THIS IS THE WORST ONE I HAVE HAD. IT WAS SO INFLAMED (YOU COULD FEEL THE HEAT) & SWOLLEN. IT STARTED OUT AS A PIMPLE AND WHEN IT ERUPTED &OPENED UP, IT WAS THE SIZE OF A 50 CENT PIECE. IT DRAINED FOR DAYS. FINALLY THE WHITE INFECTION STARTED FALLING APART. NOW, ONE LITTLE BIT TO GO, AND IT CAN START CLOSING UP. I HAVE CRIED SEVERAL TIMES. I AM NO CRY BABY. I CAN HANDLE THE PAIN. I GAVE BIRTH 3 TIMES WITH NO MEDS,( AND THE 3RD WAS A 10LB. 6 OZ. BABY!) THEN I GAVE BIRTH TO 2 MORE, DILATED TO 8 & 8 AND 1/2 (BEFORE HAVING EMERGENCY C-SECTIONS). I NEVER WANT TO HAVE ONE THIS BAD AGAIN. I FOUGHT IT WITH NEOSPORIN,BACITRACIN, REST AND HEALTHY EATING.
