Hello doctor. Im 19 yrs old, female, weight 75kgs, height 160cms. Ive been having staph infections regularly for the past two months wwhich started off as an eye stye, ive had 7 of them in two months time. I visited an opthamologist who prescribed antibiotics n opthalmic solutions, which helped me get back to normanl but lately ive had a swelling near my abdomen similar to the stye. It started as a pimple and later becam big like the size of a coin or much bigger filled with pus. The doctor again prescribed me anti inflammatory medicined to heal but of no use. Last night, blood clotted and started too ooze out blood and pus, but still it didnt come out fully, and the area where the infection is, has big red swellings. Is it normal for a staph infection or is it something else?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Staphylococcal infection usually subside by medicines in initial stages but if pus has formed adequate incision and Chat Doctor.  Also, please get the culture and sensitivity done for the same because a resistant species called MRSA is there which does not gets eradicated by conventional antibiotics and require ninefold and rifampicin for 15 days. So, just see if your pus culture grows MRSA. Hope you get well soon.
