MRSA: you most likely have MRSA skin infection. Need antibiotics to cover MRSA, a resistance staph infection.

May be of concern: It sounds as if you have furunculosis, caused by staph bacteria. This will continue to spread if not treated. See your physician and get treated with anti-staph antibiotics.
