Go to Herbalhealer.com and you can consult with a naturopathic doctor online when you become a member(both for free). She has helped me many times over the years and knows her stuff, good luck.

Oooh dear.\nYou're in trouble.\nBut the problem is not below your neck.\nTell your family and ask for help.\n\nIf you stay like this, your bone and tissue structure will be so weak when you get older that your life expectancy will decrease significantly.\n\nDon't wait any longer

Well obviously the best advice is to see a doctor ASAP, but also try changing your soap (think...hmmm...have you changed soaps recently?)  I have had a reaction to soap before (It was Irish Spring) I smelled horrible and I switched back the next day and it never happened again, and I have never used "Irish Spring" again!

It sounds similar to what we've been experiencing recently. My son's knee was hurting, but no swelling. The pain was excruciating and brought tears to his eyes when he was just using it. We found out that he had staph bacteria that had settled in his knee. We went to our family doctor who deals in natural medicine and he recommended some pills that took care of the pain and removed the staph. It worked a whole lot better than the prescription stuff doctors prescribe today. \nIf you're interested, I'll leave the email for this doctor. There may be similar doctors in your area. The company that deals with these pills is Standard Process out of Wisconsin. Everything they use is organically grown and is wonderful.\nI hope you get some relief soon!

Ther are no statistics for the number of people infected with MRSA.\nMRSA is treated with IV antibiotics- Vancomycin and is totally treatable. I was surprised to find that some other countries do not use vancomycin ie: England, therefor people are needlessly dying from this infection.\nIt will not turn into HIV. It isnt a virus.\nMany health care proffesionals are infected with the bacteria and dont even know it because it is colonized, meaning the bacteria is present but causing no symptoms or illness.

I'm sorry, but the above post is misleading.  You are most likely refering to MRSA, or Methicillin-Resistant Staph Aureus.  Regular Staph aureus is a common skin bacteria that is sensitive to many antibiotics.  That is the one that is present in everyone.  About twenty years ago a strain of staph aureus evolved resistance to most antibiotics, including methicillin.  Hence the name MRSA.  MRSA is NOT present on everyone, but rather is contracted either in hospital or in the community.  \n\nThe are two basic MRSA issues.  One can be infected with it (meaning the bacteria gets into the body and starts causing serious problems), or one can simply have it found on the skin (so called colonization).  So the first issue is whether your daughter is colonized or infected.  Colonization may not need any treatment, while infection needs IV antibiotics.  Work with your doctor on this issues and if she had been already hospitalized twice, make sure you have an infectious diseases specialist on board.\n\nThis is an ok site about it:\nhttp://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/mrsa.htm\n\nGood luck!

Hi Unicorn, you have to be very careful with infections especially cellulitis.  Definitely having procedures done can flare up an existing infection that is laying dormant.  You shouldn't ever have work like that done unless the infection is 100% gone, and since you said it's recurrent, maybe you need a very strong antibiotic or possibly an Iv one.  The infection now may be recurring due to the work you have had done.  I know you said you have having work done to conform your skin tone, who is doing the work? Is it a surgeon or qualified doctor?  Are they aware of the infection problems you are having?

cleanse with hydrogen peroxide every day (morn and nite) and put neosporin (antibacterial ointment) on it for a week.  And don't play with it or wear tight clothes on it.

i would  have to say since you have been on a antibiotic it is good to always make sure you are drinking enough water' this may help to dilute the medication that is  still in your system' i hope this helps you can also check out a drug and medication  sight on the net'' they may be able to give you some advice

He probably has MRSA. There are several antibiotics that can be used. Don't worry. Take him to a Children's Hospital if your Dr. claims that he cannot help.

Is this a real question?  You should see a doctor who specializes in HIV care.\n\nMost people who are HIV+ are either treated or have not progressed to AIDS.  AIDS is the condition of having a compromised immune system.  Many HIV+ people would be at similar risk (compared to an uninfected person) if exposed to MRSA.\n\nMost agressive bacterial infections need to be treated in healthy persons, it is only more difficult for those with AIDS\n\nBTW, MRSA can be communicated easily without sex.

it's MRSA -- methcillin resistant staph aureus -- it's a bacterial infection that is resistant to one of the most potent anti-biotic, methcillin. you have to be hospitalized for this, but there is a cure. doctors now are using Vancomycin - IV for treatment of MRSA.

I have the EXACT same thing!!!  I'm not 100% positive, but from my experience, what you have is probably only a viral infection, which means antibiotics will not do anything for it!!  It has to take it's course, so load up on the Orange Juice and get plenty of sleep!!!!  Hope you get to feeling better!!!

I would say: see a doctor. however. I have had this before. and the doctor said its a bacteria caused by wearing new or long-time stored clothes because you have sensitive skin it's not dangerous and it  will go away eventually however he gave me some kind of cream to put on the spots it will get rid of them faster. and he also told me to wash every thing I buy from the stores b4 wearing it. \nif you have insurance. see the doctor

You should go to the hospital if the doctors office is closed don't let it get to bad! The longer you wait the worse it will get but you can try gargleing with salt warm water it helps kill off the bacteria! And you also can try some hot herbal teas! I hope you get this taken care of very soon!

I see these all the time in the ER where I work. They are abscesses and they are usually caused by a Staph infection that is very resistent. We call it MRSA. You are right, they will spread. You need to be VERY careful not to touch the infected area without washing your hands well afterward. Also anything that comes into contact with the infected area will be contaminated, like your towel or sheets. A doctor will deaden the area and perform an incision and drainage and place a small amount of medicated packing so that the wound can heal from the inside out. You will probably also need to take an antibiotic. There is also an ointment that can be prescribed to put in your nose to help prevent future infection.\nDon't be scared....it's not a terrible or uncommon thing. Your healthcare provider will help you understand how to get rid of this problem.
