Staph infection worries

Staph infection worries

I was diagnosed with Staph infection last year, and the doctor was reluctant to prescribe antibiotics.  However after several months of outbreaks on my face which has left severe scarring, i finally received antibiotics. Even after finishing the course, i still have the problem. Could it be connected to my bowel problems?  Also i recently became a grandma to a beautiful baby girl and i'm concerned i could pass this infection on to her.  The outbreaks on my face (at present i have 20 or so raw and painful lumps on my face) really do get me down and is affecting my confidence.  What can i do?
