I hav experienced for the past several months numerous small to mid-sized pimples on my upper chest, upper back, neck and face....and jock itch sporadicaly. I was diagnosed with CA-MRSA last summer, buth aven't had a boil/carbuncle since July. I was qwonderign if anyone else on here has the same experiences with imples and jock itch. My DR's, both primary and ID claim it is not MRSA, but I find it all very odd. They do not hurt thankfully, no lacerations indicated either.

The jock itch usualy is caused by extensive use of antibotics. Be cautious using the hibiclens for too long, I believe a week is sufficent with a week away from it, if the boils, etc..return go back to another week of utilizing hibiclens...I overused the product and it irriotated my skin...overuse of anything will cause MRSA to become resistant to it.

Well gan, aparently, after several cultures over the past several months, I appear to be MRSA free. I haven't had it officaly diagnosed positive for about a year now. No more boils, carbuncles, et al. However, there is always acatch when being treated excessively with strong antibotics over extended periods of time, which I was from May of 2008 to last month...I developed a bacteria that although not fatal, is problematic causing me at first jock itch, proceeded by folticulitus. And most revently, a male yeast infection, can you imagine? I feel like a dame (sorry ladies). My dermetologist wanted to put me on ciipro for two weeks, which I cannot, as I am allergic to it...the next solution was bactrim, HEL NO!!! I had the worst adverse sideffects of my life on that crapola...never again...So, they are placign me on a child's ear infection topiacl antibotic cream for a few weeks-minimal sideffects and sensativity tested i nthe lab to killt his bacteria (I do notrecall the bacteria's name). I hope that wen all this is said and done, that I am not only MRSA free, but bacteria free as well...Have ay of you experienced similar long last timne side effets from usign bactrim, etc to initaly fight MRSA? I am curious...I feel damn good though, I praty for all of you to beat MRSA. Aparently, in some cases it can occur. I thuoght that it was impossible, but again, aparently not.
