Does this look like MRSA? (tmi)

Question

I've had this pimple for about 4 days now, it's keep getting more red. It's warm to the touch to. I've had MRSA before that's why I'm worried. (I am going to the doctors today I just wanna know what I'm in for haha)

Answer

Could be a staph infection. I had a bad deep pimple on my face that I made the mistake of popping. It was an abscess not a pimple. It hurt and was a little swollen. I didn’t go to the doctor because that’s too hard lol but I put warm tea compresses on it (slippery elm) to drain the fluid everyday. Eventually it went down but I still have a red scar on my face

Answer

Could be🤷🏻‍♀️only way to know is to see the dr. When I had it, first it just seemed like a little pimple/ingrown hair kinda like that. But within 24 hours I could feel like a golf ball sized area of swelling underneath it, and it was incredibly uncomfortable to sit (it was at the top of the back of my thigh.) I just happened to have an OB appointment that day where they lanced it, and by then I could tell it was more like baseball sized swelling underneath it was crazy. They told me thank god i came in or it would have gotten much worse very quick!😱

Answer

We can’t tell you if it’s MRSA, it can be a regular staph infection. But good luck at your appointment.

Answer

Probably not . Mrsa  is extremely painful like you probably would have been at the er already. My daughter had mrsa when she was younger and it was excruciating and with in several hours of it appearing we were at the hospital
