I have a dime sized sore on the back of my neck x 1 week it is painful a volcano of sorts. I need to have you promise me it is not the deadly MRSA. Seriously though how can I know if it is MRSA and I have not had it before. My edit involves you insulting my intelligence since you dont have a fraction of the info needed to dx.
Hello! I have been through your question. Related your concern you should be aware that to be sure to say if this is a MRSA or not the only way is that you must do a culture test of this sore and angiogram. If result a MRSA you need to meet an Infectious diseases specialist and hospitalization under the strict rules and start a prompt right medication with intravenous antibiotics (vancomycin or ceftobiprole) for a long time(it depends on from the clinical results) and after with oral antibiotic (Bactrim or doxycycline with rifampicin). I hope my answer helps you. I wish you a quick recovery.
