Staph is a form of skin infection. It may appear to be a pimple or boil, or may even look like a spider bite. MRSA is a form of a staph infection, but is resistant to some antibiotics, but is completely treatable. If you believe you have a disease/illness you should seek medical attention immediately. Please also encourage your doctor to perform culture and susceptability testing on the 'boil' to determine if it is truly staph or MRSA. Doctor's cannot tell by looking, and this will also correctly determine the antibiotic that you will need to be treated.
You definately need to call your doctor.
Best bet would be to wash it good and proper then go get it check at doctors ASAP actully going to the doctors should be the first step.
Follow your instincts. Go see your doctor immediately or you have a 50% chance of dying.
