What Do Rashes Under The Arms, Neck And Legs Indicate?

I am a Paramedic that had contracted Osteomyelitis, sepsis- end stage, nearly killed me. I now get rashes under my arms, on my arms, neck, belly, between legs, gluten and back! I have been diagnosed as a Staph carrier by a Dermatologist, who but me on topical S to treat it. I also have started to use Tea Tree Oil. How long before I see results? Is this really staph? Have pictures? I have Keflex but am afraid to use them because the staph can easily become resistant, or worse necrotic staph. HELP!

Hi,

Don't worry if the infection is limited to skin rashes then the topical antibiotic ointment will help. If it does start spreading then we need to start you on oral antibiotics . About tea tree oil dear honestly I have no idea as I have never prescribed it.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
