Would steroid cream or steroids help or hurt a mrsa skin infection? can i assume if steroids worked it's not mrsa?

NO !!: If you truly have a MRSA infection, antibiotics may the best pathway for healing. Steroids can make things worse. You should see a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and make the correct treatment.
