Antibiotics: A culture with sensitivities to various antibiotics will provide more information for your PCP to select an antibiotic which is best. There are different types of Staph, including MRSA and the type and sensitivity pattern on a culture analysis is important information at this point. Antibacterial soap for bathing is suggested.

Staph: I have found that in cases like yours a culture and sensitivity of drainage should be done. In my experience, if one is not allergic to penicillin and the culture showed no resistance to it, I found prescribing dicloxacillin for a period of 2-3 weeks was effective in stopping crops of staph infections from recurring. Discuss this with your MD.

Maybe/not: The pattern you cite suggests your treatment is not long enough to get all the germs, or you are being re-infected by a close contact. This may include a symptom free family member or animal. Some detective work would be wise. The abx use will should not matter much to your overall health over time.
