    • Close MRSA

      Infected cyst on the back and pimple on the thigh. Abscess on the back lanced and drained. 7 days Tetracycline, 9 days of Bactrim. The abscess healed nicely. Unfortunately lesion on the thigh grows. Altabax helped initially. Biopsy culture: Coagulase-negative taphylococcus species. Susceptibility test report resistance to: Amoxicline, Bactrim, Oxacillin, Penicillin, Cefazolin, Erythromicin. More red pimples on buttocks. Wife and 14 year old son got some pimples too. ID Doc now thinks it’s MRSA.

      Treatments

      Bactrim DS Somewhat Helpful
      Worked for the abscess on my back. Not for the lesion on my thigh.
      Bactroban Not Working
      I used it 1 year ago for cuts and pimples. It was working. Not anymore for this new infection.
      Hibiclens Too Soon to Tell
      Zyvox Considering
      Prescribed. Not used yet. Concerned about side effects.
