Danger: Staph can be a very dangerous problem to ignore. It also can be diagnosed by eyesight. So going to the doctor to get the right treatment prescription should be easy for your girlfriend. She needs the right antibiotics.

Staph infections: Are nothing to fool around with. There is no home remedy. Screw up your courage and get to a doctor. Failure to treat can have some very serious consequences.
