MRSA: Moist hot packs until it ruptures and drains and then allow it to heal. If the area looks inflamed with redness, tenderness, warmth and swelling see a doctor asap. If not allergic to sulphonamides Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) or septra might do ok.

Bactroban (mupirocin): Bactroban (mupirocin) cream applied topically twice daily can also help.
