A member asked:
The boil on my butt tested positive for mrsa i have a stye on my left eye forming.does that mean the mrsa has spread throughout?do i need to be extra cautious because of the mrsa?or are these not related at all.i have gotten septic from mrsa before?

In view of your history with previous MRSA sepsis and its occurrence in the boil, probably MRSA is all over your skin and body openings and could well be responsible for the stye. Discuss ASAP with the doctor(s) who have treated this problem, ideally an infectious diseases specialist. Good luck.
