A member asked:

I am looking for ointment for a staph infection , i was using staph-a-setic from walmart but i can't find it anymore thank you?

Staph aureus: What type of infection are you trying to treat? If these are boils they need moist heat and drainage without squeezing them. If you have had more than one you may consider a course of nasal Mupirocin (bactroban) and bathing regularly and solely with a Chlorhexidine containing soap. See an id doctorl.
