A member asked:
What is the reason for reoccurring staph infection in breast in a non-lactating 30yo female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recurrent staph: Once staph is established in certtain tissue, it can be difficult to eradicate entirely. Antibiotics may seem to cure ia flare-up without actually killing all bacteria. Or your skin may be colonized with staph which finds its way back into the breast. See an infectious diseases specialist; and/or speak with your doctor about whether surgery is needed to remove a smoldering infection. Good luck.
