Is this a Staff infection?!


Question: Is this a Staff infection!?
I had staff about a month ago, and its almost all healed up, but now I have a weird boil on my arm and I think its staff, maybe, maybe not!.
I still have leftover pills from my old infection!.
Its only a boil right now, but I don't want it to open up!.
T~T

Staff was the worst thing that's ever happened to me!.
I don't wanna go through it again!.
Someone please help me, how can I prevent it from opening!?

If its not MRSA, is it a boil!?
here's a pic:

Answers:
First, you should not have leftover pills from your last infection!. You need to take your antibiotics exactly as prescribed, and usually your prescription is finished!. You can get a worse, rebound infection by not finishing your entire course of treatment!.

You probably carry Staph on your skin!. There are lots of different kinds of staphylococcus bacteria, and MRSA is just one of them!. The only way to find out for sure is to have your doctor to a culture!.

Meanwhile, you should go back to your doctor and discuss your last course of medication and see if you took it properly!. It may be that the antibiotic you took was ineffective against the particular bacterial infection you had!. You may need a culture and sensitivity done to find out what antibiotic you need, and whether or not you have a resistant strain of staph!.

Your picture does not look like a boil (yet) but the redness around it is pretty extensive, so you should see your doctor ASAP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
