I have had mrsa since setember...boils and all...this occurred after having a tick bite me. It took 4 days to get the tick out of ny instep. Following that bite I was told to take bleach baths, took antibiotics, used a triple ointment and had boils form with an infected middle. It all seemed to whisper away but is back again without the boils but cellulitis has crept up in the same leg the bite was initiated....my doc wrote cellulitis on my diagnostic sheet but never told me. I saw hwe again yesterday and she told me to go through the entire decolonization process. I am concerned
Your symptoms seem to be related to cellulitis. Cellulitis should be treated with oral antibiotics and antibiotic cream. You should also use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
