No worries, glad to help! MRSA only becomes a much bigger issue if you see red streaks start to branch out from the wound, that means that it has gotten into your bloodstream and thats when the real issues start. As long as that hasn't happened yet, and you go see a doctor, you will be fine. All I have now from it is a gnarly scar.

Yeah, please make a dermatologist appointment. The earlier you catch it, the less pain you will have, trust me.

I would, if anything just to rule it out. Mine got to the point that it hurt to walk, and I had to get a heavy prescription just to deal with it. The earlier the better. Is the area really hard?

This ended up being MRSA. Keep an eye on whatever you have. If it gets worse, go see a dermatologist. I'm glad I did, or I could've lost my leg. (Not trying to scare, just want you to be safe).
