Answers:
no this is probably not the case. Methacillin resistant staph. aureus is a type of bacteria that is resistant to all forms of antibiotics. In this case you haven't had antibiotics to know if it is resistant or not. You probably just have a slight infection around the area where you popped the pimple. If you have been feeling very ill then you can worry...but for now it is nothing to worry about.
