See a doctor: Staph infections are hard to self-diagnose; all you can really say is that you have an inflamed area, be it from infection, venous stasis, or other reasons. If the doctor diagnoses you with a staph infection, make sure the antibiotic given has MRSA coverage, and is appropriately dosed for that.

See doctor: Antibiotics cannot be recommended without knowing more about you. For persistent staph infections , the best treatment is often drainage of the affected area. This can only be done if you seek medical care in person.
