How Can Staph Infection On The Feet Be Treated?
How do I get rid of a staph infection on my foot? It shows up in small patches but then dries up and moves to another part of my foot. I do not know for sure if it is staph, but from pictures I ve seen, it looks like it. Water filled bumps, red patches.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
From the description those lesions appear to be more likely to be tinea infections(Fungal infections) of the skin. In Staph infections there will be a lot of pus. So you may try antifungal cream application plus taking anti fungal drug (like Fluconazole 150 mg, once a week for over 8 weeks.) or consult a doctor close to you. Thanks
