Good day and thanks for your question. Please do not loose your mind. It can be very frustrating after using many drugs and the problem still persists. I will advice you go for tests. How old are you? Are you diabetic? See your doctor to know your blood sugar level. I don't think its a staph infection cos staph infection could be more worse than what you are describing here. Am suggesting you still go back to your doctor and let them examine it well for you.
Hope it helps. Thank you.
