Had Mini-face Lift. Pus Abscess In Face. Possibility Of Having MRSA. How Does One Deal With A Contagious Disease?
Hello. I had a mini-face lift in August. I live in Florida. Three weeks ago I developed a puss abcess on my face. My doctor just took a culture today and said I most likely have MRSA. I am very frightened and will need to find the best contagious disease doctor in my area. I have Humana Gold Health Insurance. I am 66 years old. Am I going to survive this? I hear it can be fatal.
