Normal finding: Coag negative staph is considered a benign germ often found on the skin surfaces. It does not require treatment if it is found. It is likely you were swabbed to see if you were a carrier for more worrisome forms of staph like coag positive staph that may be a MRSA or not, but often cause abscesses or pustules on various surfaces.
