Specializes in General Practice

Staph Infections: Please 'google image' MRSA staph and compare the abscesses there with what you see on your fiance' skin. If it is similar please get him to medical care urgently.

Wrong question: Spider bites are rare and unlikely to produce what you describe. SO WHAT IS THIS?? Consider a professional opinion, preferably by a dermatologist.
