Question 1

is it possible to get a mrsa staph infection in your inner vagina lip from a cut u got shaving? especially since have had reaccurring mrsa for 6 years

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can get MRSA anywhere the skin gets broken, and  many people have been colonized with MRSA so they get recurrent infections. If you have had that, then be sure to see you doctor, and you  may  need an infectious disease doctor, to treat you with the proper antibiotics. Your doctor might also culture your nasal passages maybe treat for carriage of MRSA in the nose. Go to your doctor!

Question 2

i get extremely painful bumps filled with pus and blood in my vagina hairs every couple of months. i have been compressing them with a warm wash cloth but i'm not exactly sure what that does. i also just recently found out i had a staph infection aka mrsa

Accepted Answer

There may be an: ...association between the MRSA and the recurrent infection in the vaginal hairs (folliculitis).  If you're being treated appropriately with the antibiotics for the MRSA, that might help clear up the folliculitis.  Be aware tho that any bacteria still hiding in the follicles may cause a flair up.  Talk with your doctor about that &amp; that other hygiene measures to help prevent recurrences.

Question 3

i have a reoccurring staph infection, mrsa. it keeps comming back every month and jumping locations, from rear to breast to back of head.

Accepted Answer

Infectious diseaseMD: Is it cultured MRSA or regular staph. You should speak to an infectious disease md for treatment. Do you scratch yourself? Itch? Possibly at night? You may have MRSA under the nails and seeding the skin. 
Normlly you treat MRSA and it resolves you have to culture it find out what it is sensitive to and use those antibiotics. Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) ds, and zyvox is made specifically for mrsa
culture your nose too.

Question 4

my kid bro for 5 years + got mrsa (staph infection), can i get drug/treatment recommendations ? thank you

Accepted Answer

Some basics: MRSA in not the plague or rare or as bad as many make it out to be. It can be found as the cause of most simple abscesses or pustules seen by doctors &amp; those germs are everywhere. Many simple older drugs like bactrim kill it easily as do many others.

Question 5

how do you get mrsa staph infection in nursing home?

Accepted Answer

MRSA: Mrsa is a form of staphylococcus bacteria that is resistant to a specific group of antibiotics. It is prevalent in all settings, not only the nursing home. Many people are colonized with the bacteria; this does not mean they are infected. Make sure that you do your best to wash your hands as frequently as possible.

Question 6

can you get mrsa or staph infection by drinking after the person who has it?

Accepted Answer

Low risk: Possibly this could happen, but unlikely. Staph is spread primarily by direct skin to skin contact.

Question 7

hello , i was found that i have mrsa staph infection . i was wondering how long does it take to get into bloodstream ?

Accepted Answer

Real infection?: Many people have MRSA living on their skin without causing any problems or ever invading. There are a variety of different MRSA strains, and it's a basic error to think that having one cultured from a site that does not seem diseased means a person is in any trouble. Wash your hands frequently with soap, and keep close tabs on your body. Thanks for asking.

Question 8

is a sty contagious? if stys form because of staph, can someone else get a staph infection or mrsa by being in contact with someone with a sty?

Accepted Answer

Can be: General contact is not enough, but if secretions from that eye are transferred to another person they can get an infection. Understand that styles are not generally infectious, but result when the oil producing glands in the lid get obstructed, and expand because they can not empty themselves and may actually split open, releasing the oil the produce into the soft tissues of the lid.

Question 9

my daughter has mrsa she has not had any symptoms in over a year but now her grandma's doctor says that my daughter gave her a regular staph infection?

Accepted Answer

Staph infection.: That is a possibility, especially if your daughter has open sores or impetigo of the skin. Another source of contamination would be a runny nose with a mucoid discharge.

Question 10

if someone caught mrsa or normal staph infection from a hospital, in how many days will lesion or abscess occur? do you always get boils if you came in contact with mrsa or normal staph like touching anything infected with it?

Accepted Answer

MRSA: MRSA on your body doesn't necessarily result in infection. This would be called colonization without infection. The body is able to prevent invasivesness by the bacteria in some cases. While up to 30% of people have staph colonizing  nose or skin, less than 2% have MRSA colonization.
