Hi & Welcome. The suspected bacteria Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (\"MRSA\") is resistant to most of the commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin, cephalosporins, azithromycin, etc. Based on the history given, your son seems to have acquired MRSA infection through the tattoos that he got in the prison. He should be examined by a doctor for proper clinical examination and possibly a culture and sensitivity of the skin lesions. Based on the result of this test he would be given an effective antibiotic like Vancomycin, Ninefold or Caroline. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Best regards.
