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!
