<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.my son has a small area at his coccyx, it was diagnosed as staph, we were told to give bleach baths 14 to 12 cup bleach in his bath water and prescribed bactroban to put on the ares. My son is a 7 yo down syndrome child who isnt potty trained yet. The are is red and has two very small open slits. does this treatment sound like a good start?  <response>: Hi, thanks for post, treatment with local ointment, bleach baths, anti-inflammatory medicine, local cold, is commonly used only for mild and superficial bacterial infections, when lesions dont heal or when infections are deeper, previous a cultivation for know causative organism, its necessary take oral or parenteral antibacterials, like amoxicillin alone or with clavulanate added. Also is often necessary to do a test to know which antibacterial is better for the agent. Anyway you should return to your physician if you dont see improvement after a couple of days.
