my daughter is 20 months old about once a month since July she has had a breakout of MRSA infection in her diaper area one time it was on her leg, once on her stomach now mostly in diaper area. each time she has been treated with antibiotics she is currently on antibiotics and in the same area I can feel another one popping up? we have been for the past 3 weeks putting a 1/4 cup of bleach in her bath water. how can we stop this from happening again? I am very worried that she has been on these antibiotics so much that they are going to stop being effective!
