[[yes i know i already asked the doctors and they are so stupid over here, but i want to see what you all know,thanks]]
Answers:
Could be a staph infection caused by a staphacoccyl (not sure of the spelling) virus. This virus can be very very cruel and hard to fight, but it is possible to have a good recovery.
