Suggest Treatment For Staph Infection On Face
Hi, l have been told l have Staph on my face. I have had like hard pimple/bump like swellings on my face about as big as your littlest fingernail. They start like a group of pimples very small ones then sort of burst (or l squish em with clean hands to clear them) and l then apply peroxide to clean and either betadine or otocomb otic ointment. They finally gaway after weeks n weeks and then appear again on the other side of my face. It looks really ugly. I have had 1 course of penicillin, but its still there. What should l do?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be skin infection but it may be some hormone changes condition and chances of acne of kind is very likely, do not try to disturb it or squeeze it, in my opinion it should be treated in that manner only, no need to use any antibiotic, if this is the acne then it may requires long term treatment because treatment regime goes on changes, hope this information helps.
