i didn't know it had a name. i was getting surgery the other day and i showed him my scars i am working on to get rid of. and he mumbled MRSA. i asked what? then he said the long name. i said not anymore. i said it is scars. and i reminded him that a few yrs ago i went to several different drs and none of them knew what it was. i ended up diagnosing it myself. i figured it was staph. they treated me for scabies 5 times and that was harsh (that stuff is a neurotoxin like what hitler used in gas chambers). they tried several medicines. nothing worked. i had to do a series of things i thought of myself. it took me 3 yrs to get rid of it. now i am using retin-A for the scars. i got it from a city bus 5 yrs ago when i moved to san diego. i stumbled across this forum by accident, thought i would post.
well, i am just assuming that is what it was and my dr said it was. i don't know. it took me 3 yrs to kill it. the scars will take another few months, been working on them for 2 years. i will post later, a bit tired right now.

it was such a long process. i took antibiotics, used calamine lotion, hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, stronger topical antibiotics, bandaids, scabies lotion 5 times, hyluronic acid, every lotion and medicated cream you can think of pretty-much, hot baths, epsom salts, etc.... some of the sores healed up in a few months to a year. there were about 6 or so that took 3 years. the key to it was getting out the poison. staph locks a poison in the skin and i had to dig deep with needles and tweezers and do this continuously week after week, letting it heal in between and hoping i got the poison out. eventually, i won. eventually, there were sores left, but the soreness in them was the brutality i had to use and not the trapped poison that was cauing pain. i can tell you that trying to get rid of this was truly the most painful experience of my life as far as actual physical pain. from all the digging to get the poison out, you are later left with scars many layers deep with hard skin. so, it take a year or more to get rid of those, using Retin-A. my advice...do not ride city buses. if you do, do not wear shorts and a tank top, try not to touch anything, stand, don't sit and take a bath when you get home.

yeah, i know it is dangerous, but i went to several drs and none of them had a clue. so, i became my dr. for your rheumatiz:
thanks, my neighbor got boils. i think mine were more like miniture boils, and they never got that horrible yellowish core that many ppl get. i think it is because i was constantly taking out the liquid poison. some got pretty swollen looking, though. i am going to give this tumeric stuff to my neighbor. tumeric is very healthy. my dr back home eats lots and tells all his patients to eat it.
