No one else has this at home or work. they started out like little clusters of bites then the clusters became more and more. very itchy. I went to my doctor and he said that it was Saph. He gave me medication and I finished it all and now I have it again. what could it be?

Your doctor gave you proper medication as you were helped by the prescription. It is possible that you might have become a carrier for Staph. Please get you nasal and genital swabs tested and also get the antibiotic sensitivity done. after this please do take antibiotics for the prescribed duration followed by treatment for carrier state if that is present. maintain good hygiene and take care that sugar levels do not rise beyond the normal limits. with these measures, you surely will be alright and you are strongly advised to notice for recurrence and get treated without delay if that happens.
