Hi.
As per your case history of Mrsa , my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Higher antibiotics like rifampicin, levofloxacin and linezolid are to best options for MRSA taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
