I have been dealing with a staph infection for some time now.  Keeps coming back at the worst possible moment.  I have been doing warm compresses removed all the puss, now i have a huge hole in my face.  I was wondering why the puss is rubbery and feels kind of like a booger?
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor. Usually in case of staph infection pus is thick, because staph is bacteria which produce some substance which make it thick that's why it is appears rubbery. This type of lesion sometimes caused by gram negative bacteria, other than staph.First you need to confirm what is causing this. I think you are telling this is staph infection, so you have gone through culture report. And in staphylococcus something like MRSA, if it is so than in that case some antibiotics need to avoided in treatment because it is not effective as per standard guidelines. So first thing you should do is to confirm that infection by culture report by a reliable microbiology lab by a qualified microbiology doctor. Then if it is staphylococcus that follow the complete antibiotic course under supervision of your physician. Hope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level. Thanking you.
