Infant Skin Staph Infection

Our 8 month old baby boy has a skin staph infection. We are VERY lucky that we caught it early and that his case is relatively mild. The medicine we got for him should cure it right up. But we wanted to put our story and information out there for anyone who thinks they or someone they know might have it. The faster you get it treated, the better. Plese leave me a comment on this video if you have ANY questions. And yes, I said "Memorial day weekend" when I meant "Labor day weekend" sorry!

My son just was diagnosed with a staph infection yesterday. He got stitches on Sunday on his forehead & that is where the staph infection is...it looks nothing like a pimple(s) though...hmmmm...do you know if they all look like pimples or if it just looks like an ordinary infection? Its just red & crusty.

hope the kid is better. If anyone was wondering, infants/kids are not the only ones that can contract staph.

Strange I came upon this video, but I also got staph. I'm a M/24 and got it over past spring 2011 while I was at school. At first it just looked like a small pimple. My face is pretty much acne free, just a couple adult cystic acne every now and then. Not like acne that teenagers get when they go through puberty.

I know this is two years old but I wanted to comment. lol You were very lucky you found out what it was its so serious my Mother in law got a bug bite and it turned into staph and the next day when she woke up it spread and was all over the front of her leg. The doctors were giving her the wrong meds and had to keep her in the hospital she had it for a whole month and lost 30 pounds because she couldn't eat they said she was very lucky she lived. Crazy infections!!

I have a night-time itch. A point here, a point there. It comes with warm moist conditions in the bed and the weather. Possible due to food allergy or bathing in roof water. Age 66 .Very fit. Lots outside.

Relieved by Dyphen hydramine, or bicarbinate.

Diet is acid, p nuts tomatoes etc. Vitamins etc... all done away with, bed clothes changed ... no bugs

Any help at all!!! It is a torment. hobot 22
