also its funny becasue when i use fuicidin ointment whihc is mainly for staph infections. my lips go 100% normal as in it fully hides my ec for a whole day no white bits coming up during the day what so ever.
i think theres different strains of staph. and im pretty sure if you get a resistent one you have to be hospitalized and get strong anti-biotics that you cant get at chemist or pharmcy's. there like only administered on hospital there like super super strong.
the only thing is seb if it was staph i would pressume ec would be very contagious especially for people that kiss their partners etc etc. although im not a doctor so maybe its possible that certain strains aernt contagious.
