I had a cyst of some sort on my tailbone area. My family doctor said that it was a pilonidal cyst. She gave me Cipro and told me to make an appointment with a surgeon about a week from that date. I made the appointment with the surgeon and he took a look at it and said it was NOT a pilonidal cyst but that he thinks I have a staff infection. Almost in passing he said he thought it was methicillin resistant staph. I didn't think too much of it until he said the same thing at my second appointment. I decided to look up the staph infection he said he thought I had (without any tests, blood work, cultures, etc.) and now I'm freaking out a little bit. Is this normal for a doctor to tell me I have MRSA but not be that concerned about it? He put me on bactrim and between the Cipro and the bactrim the infection looks much better but I am still not sure what this all means.
