MRSA Why eating me not others PLEASE HELP

Over a year now, my roomate has mrsa from hospital and when he cuts him self he gets bad infection, I got it last year. It is in the form of Itchy bunps all over my head and chest. If I scratch they scab over and take weeks to go away all while new ones pop out. If I cover my chest with hydrogen peroxid 3% all my poors not only the itchy bumps swell up and get white on top from the peroxid but other areas the peroxid does nothing no reaction. But my chest and head the peroxid reacts and skin turns all red and itches super bad. I can barly stand it ..I believe these normal looking poors that do not itch untill the peroxid is applied are waiting to turn into the itchy bumps .BUT after I remove the peroxid the itching bumps on my chest stop itching for a few hours. In other words I have for example 10 itchy bumps on my chest but when peroxid is applied every poor lights up bad...I believe these poors are waiting to turn into the bumps . I amVery very itchy all the time I can not work I am losing it. Very mad..... These pumps are all over my head and my hair is falling out..... Three doctors and no help at all, just told to live with it...I can NOT I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have done antibiotics expensive ones helps but comes right back......

My question is how come this MRSA is everywhere and others have it in their nose and everywhere and they do not get eaten alive from it. Why am I getting eaten alive while others are not!!! What is different about me? Can anyone please help me... I will have to kill my self if their is nothing left for me...Going NUTS>>>>>HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
From all these symptoms, it is important for you to get your thyroid hormones evaluated. Thyroid disease can cause such increased sweating or hyperhidrosis, chilliness and itchy skin. My advice would be to get your thyroid hormones also evaluated after consulting an endocrinologist.
I hope it helps. Take care regards.

Thank you so much response doc
I already went through scabies cream 3x, the 1st doc said scabies, the second doctor said after 3 tubes it’s not scabies. The second doctor took q-tip sample of a sore and said I had some kind of bacteria and gave me bactorin. This had no effect, The third doctor after hearing my story did no tests but gave me a high end expensive antibiotic. This did clear up the bumps but as soon as I finished the pills about a week later the bumps came back. I went back to the 3 rd doctor and he said he could no longer help me he had no idea what else he could do. I went to the ER to a 4th doctor he also did not look at me he heard my story and told me I had mrsa and to use teetree oil and live with it.... Oh I should say I have no insurence or much money so I feel this is why I feel left with no options

Oh, I don’t know if this helps but  I also sweat at night, enough to have to sleep in a t-shirt and on towels. I change shirt and towels 2x a night. I also can get chills real easy and the chills can be intense. I mean so intense I have to cover up with3 or 4 heavy blankets and  tighten up all over and my chest hurts from being so tight. Also I have no hunger and no taste I easily could go days and not eat I have to force my self to eat... I have lost 30 lbs also from 5'8" 170 to 138.

Hello,
First of all don’t lose heart as MRSA is not untreatable. I have doubts whether it is MRSA folliculitis. One diagnosis that comes to my mind is scabies. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist and get the skin scrapings done. Investigations for scabies and biopsy of the skin should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment will depend on confirmation of diagnosis.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
