Got a result wed for scant growth of staph/script forbactrim ds for 7 days- on day 3/rash still there. how fast does it work?do i need to call dr?

Give it a few days: This culture does not make a diagnosis. A large number of people with normal skin will culture staph. A scant growth probably means this is not the problem. You may need to see a dermatologist for more precise definition of what is there ; how to fix it.
