Hi,
I recently thought my boyfriend and i had staph infection and so i went to an urgent care to find out. He Diagnosed me with something called Folliculitis and he also perscribed me with medicine for staph as a "Just in case." I looked up folliculitis on the internet, and it said that it is contagious and that could explain how my boyfriend has it as well. i started taking my medicine yesterday, but i'm not sure if i'm being paranoid or not, because i'm still scared that its staph infection. When should i start worrying about this? are their symptoms that i would have with staph that i wouldn't have with Folliculitis? Does my boyfriend need to go to the doctor?? It's causing me a lot of pain.
