How do you no if you have staff?
If you are asking the question, "How do you know if you have a staph infection?," the answer is: You must go to the doctor. The doctor can determine the presence of a staph infection by drawing blood and testing the blood for staph presence. Usually, a more direct means of detecting the variety of infection is to biopsy an area of the body which is suspected to be infected. Staph infections usually have very common telltale signs that would lead a pathologist to think that staph is the problem. Ultimately it would require a sample of the are that a doctor thinks is infected. The sample taken will be given to a microbiologist of some nature, tested in a lab, and given a definitive definition after it meets the standards of cell structure, virulence, and pathological definition.
Does staph infection itch?
I have no medical background at all but have unfotunately had staph infection twice. I dont remember the first time as I was only three years old, however the second time it was extremely itchy. It was located on a finger due to a hangnail so I dont know if placement had anything to do with it. To answer your question, for me it was indeed itchy.

Does neosporin ointment work on staph infection?
Neosporin can be effective against staph. It is able to kill Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-sensitive strains, MSSA), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes Anaerobic streptococcus. Neosporin is not able to kill certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus such as strains with methicillin-resistance (MRSA). For anything other than a minor wound, you should consult with your doctor. Neosporin is better at preventing a staph infection than curing it. If you have an active, infected wound putting neosporin (or any similar product) can actually be counter-productive, since it prevents the area from draining. Staph is very serious, and by the time you know you have a staph infection, it may be too late for neosporin alone to be effective.

How do you heal a staph infection?
Staphylococcus, a Gram positive bacteria. is tremendously common, and lives everywhere, so you see a lot of staph infections. This infection in its many forms is treated with antibiotics.Depending on where the infection strikes, there are many topical, oral and injectable antibiotics that work well on staph. The main concern is that you want a penicillinase resistant antibiotic. So antibiotics that are susceptible to penicillinase need to be paired with a penicillinaseblocker, or you need to go with a non-suseceptible antibiotic.A very short list of popular non-suscepticles includes (but it not limited to):VancomycinLevaquin (levofloxacin)Cipro (ciprofloxacin)Keflex (semi-synthetic cephalosporin)Zyvox (linezolid) -- also effective against MRSA and LRECubicin (daptomycin) -- also effective against MRSA and LREI'm not saying your answer is wrong, but I thought staph couldn't be cured. Aren't all of these possibly dangerous to the patient's health? It could hurt/kill the patient instead of killing the staff. Also, I have heard you would have to use a dangerously high amount of these "items". Correct me if needed to be corrected. I am eager to know.
