I've been dealing with a staph infection for over 14 weeks, it's healed but i'm itching and staph has spread. meds makes me itch more. what can i do?

See a dermatologist: How do you know it is staph?? Exactly which "meds"? Your question is too vague. Boils and impetigo are painful, not itchy. Bacitracin, neosporin, and triple antibiotic are all useless. Worse, they are common sensitizers, causing itchy allergic rashes.
