What are the symptoms of mrsa?
Patient: A couple of years ago, I had what I thought was an ingrown hair around my bikini line.  Except after pulling the hair out, it got worse.  Over the next 36 hours, it went from being a pin-head sized sore to a golf-ball sized thing on the inside of my leg filled with green and white pus.  Could this have been staph, specifically MRSA? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have ingrown hair. It leads to abscess formation.  Or you may have some other lesion with acute inflammation.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology and culture and sensitivity test of that pus fluid.  It will give you exact diagnosis whether it is MRSA or other infection.  Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
