Wrong place: Staph are normal skin flora.  If there's skin trauma (scratch, ingrown hair, obstructed gland) the bacteria finds a nice warm spot w/lots of free food ; they can set up shop ; grow.  Staph release toxins that allow them to break down skin ; make deeper homes ; more bacteria food. The process continues until the immune system kicks in, wound is opened/drained (o2 is toxic to staph), +/- antibiotics.

Question 10

could a postoperative staph infection cause calcifications to deposit in my body?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Calcifications can be attributed to many causes.  Any time there is a foreign body within the body, the body's immune system tries to control it by directly killing the foreign body, surrounding & forming a barrier around it, and "remembering" it in the event of a repeat exposure in the future.  Part of the healing process may involve forming a calcification, a kind of "internal scar.".
