Diagnosed With MRSA. Took Antibiotics. Have Bumps On The Back. Red, Hard And Hurt. Bug Bites?
I was recently diagnosed with MRSA but just finished my treatment of antibiotics.
I have three hard bumps on by back and butt. They're red and hurt a lot under pressure but are also itchy. Two are small and just the red area is hard but there's a larger one where the area around it is hard as well.
Are these bug bites or something else?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from furuncles.
These are also bacterial infection.
As you had MRSA recently, any other diagnosis should be kept secondary.
Let me know you have any other doubts.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
