No it wasn't tested for staph.i got 2 opinions and both doctors said it was staph not a strong case..so they put me on antibiotics.will it heal?

Superficial skin: Infection should heal with time. However the healing time varies among individuals depending upon the status of their immune system and presence of comorbid conditions.U had two courses of broad spectrum antibiotics and that should take care of it.
