Hello gang, some of you may recall me from my posts a few years ago on here. I contracted CA MRSA back in May of 2008, while on holiday at a Disney World resort. My wife and I had a couples massage for our weddign anniversary, and apparently, as the theory goes, my masseuse was MRSA positive. It is speculation, but soon after the trip, I developed a boil on my groin then a carbuncle a month after that...et al.... Finally, about a year later I had no MRSA illness. However, I suffered with candida issues due to extended use of broad spectrum antibiotics,such as Bactrim, which made me extremely weak and ill. Bactrim's sulfa class ingredients had moderate to sever side effects for me.
Fast forward to today, and to my absolute horror I discovered what appears to be a developing boil on my shaft. I am completely besides myself with fear and embarrassment. I do not have STDs, nor any secondary illness'. I am prone to foliticulitus, which this appears to be around a hair follicle, but the boil is that traditional dark color of necrotizing flesh. I feel sick to my stomach with fear, I have not dealt with MRSA in years now, and out of the blue, this nightmare occurs. Not too be more personal than I have been with you all, but we filed chapter 7 bankruptcy today with our attorney. This boil is the very epitome of unfortunate luck.
How does one manage a boil on their shaft, this is an extremely delicate area, without question, and obviously so. And no, this is not a bad or poorly designed joke, I do not make light of MRSA. I am well read on the subject and have researched it on my own since 2008, to most recently. This modern black plague is spreading as I predicted n 2008 when first discovering it, at an alarm rate and it is mutating in to stronger, more drug resistant strains. A famous metal guitarist last November suffered a recluse spider bite that was infected with necrotizing fascitius [SIC], the dreaded flesh eating form of MRSA. His near death experience has brought this illness to further exposure with the public.Jeff the guitarist of the group Slayer whom was infected, is on the mend, but requires extensive skin graphing and muscle grafting.... ..We are residing in the most dark of modern times today. Please say a prayer for me and I to you al who suffer with thiasdreaded disease. I am a big guy, 6'4, 221 lbs and I feel as scared as a baby alone in his crib at the moment, in all sincerity, I meant his. God bless.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...

Of course, if you haven't had it for a long time, it may be best to just get back on antibiotics as well, if you can afford it, especially since this is a very very delicate area that's infected. I, too, had a HORRIBLE response to sulfa-based antibiotics and the doctor put me on doxycycline instead, which didn't seem to bother my skin as much.
Good luck :( you'll get through this!!!! Mine has definitely gotten better over time and started to taper off quite a bit. Also, I start to pound pure cranberry juice when i get them....get it from trader joes and mix it with water to dillute it. Seriously works better for me than any drug they could give me. HUGS and good luck, it will get better!
