Hygiene/Immunity: Mrsa is everywhere now! many people are colonized with it. If you work in a medical environment of a family member does, you may be getting constantly innoculated. One needs to make sure clothing and bed linens are washed often especially sports clothing. Some more uncommon causes are particular immunoglobulin deficiencies that allow more skin infections. Wash with soap and water daily.
