Mrsa: You are probably colonized with mrsa, usually nasal colonization of MRSA may cause recurrence of the infection ater treatment, aslo, over crowding or if other members of the family is also colonized and towel, clothes are being shared can cause reinfection, strict hygienic practices may help, use of hand sanitizer, avoid towel sharing, use of muporicin into nares may help decolonization.
