Specializes in Infectious Disease

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.
