### input:
im suffering an infection in my head. it is pimple like swollen and painful at the same time. it keeps on coming back like twice a month. ive done self medication by taking antibiotics like amoxicillin 500, cefuroxime 500mg but i cut it in half since it is a strong antibiotic. now im taking cefalexin 500mg 3x a day. ive searched in the net but im confused if it is folliculitis, staph infection or worst methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA). what do you think is it and how can i cure it. im am in a foreign land right now and i dont know exactly where to find a clinic so im hoping you can help me. thanks!

Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern.First you should clear all the existing infections. As it is MRSA you should take the vancomycin as a treatment. Once the infection is clear further management can be started. After this I advise you to take mupirocin ointment applied over the groin, ear lobe, umbilicus, maxilla. Apply it for a period of 1 month than swab the above area for MRSA screening. If the swab shows the MRSA repeat the above medication. Once you receive the negative report you are clear from the MRSA. Please do not share household with the family members otherwise MRSA spreads to the household. Please take the good liquid hand wash sample in the home. This will take care for the good handwashing practice as this can be help full barrier in the prevention of the MRSA spread. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
