I have second degree burn with staph infection is it contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be..: If the staph is MRSA it may be more contagious than a simple infection. Everyone should wash their hands and clean surfaces like countertops with a disinfectant. Keep the burn area covered with clean dry dressings.
