MRSA?

MRSA?

So i recently posted on the forums asking about this red knot on my armpit. I tried several different things, but when it reached golfball size, I broke down and went to the doctor. Well, it is a good thing i did, because it turned out that i have MRSA and i had a pretty severe infection.

They lanced it, put me on Bactrim and Cephalexin. I went back for a recheck today, and they said the pus was out, but it was still infected.

I looked some things up on the internet, but I wanted to know if anyone here has had it.. and how it effected you.

Does it like go away or is it something i am going to have to deal with like forever.

Also, is there anything i should keep my eyes out for?

Any information would be greatly appriciated!
