A member asked:
Can you tell by looking at my skin if i have a staff infection? i was put on medicine, it went away, afterwards but then came right back. it hurts

Not necessarily ...: As many different types of bacteria can create similar appearances. But if the skin infection came back so quickly, it sounds like someone should be reassessing this sooner rather than later.
