Invaded: Ok, actually 'colonized' is the term. Means it now lives on your skin and/or in your nostrils, so if appropriate opening appears, can cause infection. Talk to your dr about eradication attempt--showering with special soap (often hibiclens) while using nasal topical antibiotic--to see if can eliminate it. Only risk is that it can get picked up again later on, but worth a shot.

Treatment mrsa: Treatment for mrsa involves oral antibiotics for severe infections. The nose needs to be treated with a topical antibiotic like mupirocin. The skin should be cleaned with a cleanser like hibiclens. If it persists after this an infectious disease doctor can help find other sources or reasons.
