Health Insurance For Dummies

serious: MRSA causing sores or gone?

Back in December I was treated for abscesses in the armpit, they were drained and packed. It was determined I had MRSA in them via a culture test. I was prescribed antibiotics and took them all. I never followed up with the general surgeon as instructed by the ER (I know dummy me) now it’s February — I have two new abscesses in the same armpit. and I have been getting small painful sores on different parts of my body (forearms, sides of torso, even one near my temple). The sores look like blisters, come to a head, but none have ruptured. I have about 6-8 of these blister type things all together. What are they? Does this indicate my MRSA is worse? Is MRSA causing the sores or something else entirely? I can’t get into see my doctor until Mid-March plus I don’t have health insurance. I am still asking for medical opinions on here until then because I’m worried. Thanks.

It does sound like your MRSA is back. You need to get to a doctor. This could be contagious.
