See a Dr right away: And get treated with antibiotics. The abscess may need to be swabbed for culture to assess for the offending organism. Take care!

Go to Hospital: Is this a test? There is only one possible answer. Mrsa can be deadly. It is not advised to sit at home and just wait till you die. You must get medical attention and urgently.
