Suggest Treatment For Breaking Of Skin And Acne On Face

I think I may have MRSA. I have had three hip surgeries, two hand surgeries, a broken wrist/arm on which surgery was perormed, and cataracts removed in both eyes, all since 2009. I was also exposed to my brother who was positive for it. The skin on my face breaks out in large pustules rather like acne only it does not respond to treatment. I am at wits end with this. I am 79 years old and I doubt this is acne.

Hi
Apply topical antibiotic like mupirocin cream on the affected areas twice daily and take oral antibiotic like capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime.
This should resolve your problem.
