I am a big fan of Lysol---the type in the BROWN bottle only! Not the diluted stuff for light cleaning.......it must be full strength in the brown bottle.......dip a q-tip or cotton ball and apply it to the various skin rashes. It can burn, be prepared. But it kills many infections including staph......in fact, it killed a rash for me that 3 scripts of an antibiotic could not. The skin was actually peeling off of my face. I started researching the medications on the internet, and discoverd this antibiotic was designed to kill staph.......it was not working, it helped, but when the pills were gone, the rash returned. A light bulb went off in my head......Lysol kills staph, I was desperate and bought a bottle, poured it onto a cotton ball and applied it to my face. It BURNED, I wanted to cry, 3 applications and the rash was gone!

As it turns out, I am a carrier of staph, about three years later, the rash came back, again on my face......I reached for the Lysol and nipped it in the bud.

Dude, you saw three doctors and not one of them gave you antibiotics?
Riiight.Try using hibiclenz surgical scrub, you can find it at pharmacies in the first aid section.

Oh my gosh!!! What horrible doctors to not be taking care of you :(

I would maybe go to a hospital or other doctor if you can, I know thats frustrating but you need to get rid of it. I don't want to scare you but staph infections can get into your bloodstream if left improperly treated and can kill you.

In the meantime, I would try to keep your immune system up as much as you can. Don't drink or smoke. Some home remedies I would try...

Eating cranberries to keep blood & kidneys clean
Have an ionic foot bath-these things WORK...nothing has ever benefited my body so much...drains your body of just about every kind of toxic thing it could be exposed to and that might help it to focus on healing the infection if it has less of the other crap to fight off.
Stop cleaning your wound with soap. That's only going to irritate it...believe me...I've had some nasty cuts in my day...the best thing you can do as far as cleaning it goes is several times a day get a small bit of water pressure on it if you can. Not an easy thing to do I know, nor is it fun, but you need to do it to get the puss out. Don't soak the wound in foreign substances.
I know, scabbing seems like a good thing but it's not when you have an infection as it will trap infected puss and bacterias under the skin which your body will need help getting rid of. DO NOT PICK a hard scab! Instead, after a shower when it is soft and soggy, very gently remove it with either clean fingers or a pair of tweezers.
Take some folic acid and other b vitamins to help your body heal. They are very good at improving your circulation and consequently, cleaning your blood and everything else that it's flushing out.
After cleaning the wound, allow it to dry thoroughly and apply some neosporin, A&D or some sort of lanolin ointment and repeat this procedure until it's healed.
At night and only at night (or whenever you sleep) wear a breathable bandage over the wound to protect it from irritation.

Hang in there!!

Having tons of health problems....I do a lot of medical research and go to the doctor a lot.
