Staph Infection: You have a staph infection and should consider it to be the life threatening version known as MRSA until you have been seen by a physician. You have an abscess. You MUST get to health care right now. Call 911 if you have to. It is unwise to be sitting at home with your leg this dangerously infected and sore.
