I was officially diagnosed by my obgyn. She was the doctor I went to see about the abscess that had been drained improperly by another doctor. Then finally she ran a test with a swab test of my groin, armpits and nares. It came back only negative in my nares, but she said I am a carrier.
I was tested before then in the bloodstream and was found positive on blood-work. I have been placed on several meds to treat it but have only been proven negative one time, and doctors have to test you negative 2 times to take a person from the list. Whatever that means. I was told, "You have it for life so deal with it" by my Endocrinologist. No further treatment has been done.
As for size of the boils they are like a pimple size and are red with white heads. They don't really itch, just want to clear them up.

Did you actually get diagnosed by a Dr or is that what you are just thinking you have? How big are they? I've had MRSA for almost ten years now. Originally I had over 50 boils, and no doctor had a clue. I saw like a million doctors and specialists, no one had a clue. I finally diagnosed myself and forced them to culture me, and it was positive.
