my son has a small area at his coccyx, it was diagnosed as staph, we were told to give bleach baths 1/4 to 1/2 cup bleach in his bath water and prescribed bactroban to put on the ares.  My son is a 7 y/o 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?
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 don't 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 don't see improvement after a couple of days.
