Suggest Treatment For Staph Infection
I had a staph infection on the front of my calf a few years ago.(bottom of shower curtain scraping under nail then scratched my leg). I recently cut my 5th and 4th toe almost halfway off and receive stitches at the emergency room. Does staph lay dormant in the body or once I got rid of the infection of staff did it go away?

Hello,
thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your cconcern. If I am your doctor I suggest you staph can remain in body as a dormant organism. It may be a MRSA in your case which I suspect will come again.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
You can contact me.
