Acne..Caused by Staph?

by Andrei133, Oct 05, 2009 01:08PM
Hello, I am 19 years old. When I was a kid going to kinder garden. I caught staphylococcus. My mom told me I had this big watery blister looking like bump on my hand and when one doctor opened it he gave me infection to a whole body. So then I had them all over my body. My mom told me I was in a really bad condition. I took antibiotics and used lots of creams. Now at 19 y.o. I have severe acne problem. Mostly I have these acne that are big red ones and it's like they rise from inside of the skin.
Q: I want to know if being sick by staph at young age could have affected me now having this bad acne?!
Q: Or what if those acne on my face aren't regular acne but staph acne?! because I heard of those?!
Thank you, Andrei.

the site below shows pictures of the typical acne types. It sounds like you have acne nodules, or cysts. I had both, but i went on accutane and luckily (VERY luckily i might add) it got much better. I've never heard of staph acne, but if it's out there, it is very possible. Good luck!!!

Hi!

I had an acne breakout a month ago, and they were not healing. At the same time I had a small crusty infection inside my ear. I didn't go to a doctor, but I finally just tried dipping a q-tip into StaphAseptic (OTC from Rite-aid I think) and I had, overnight!, 80% clearing. The stuff is cheap and if you do have Staph this topical ointment may help (but go see a doctor too!!)

I hope you find a cure!
