Staph infection can present in various forms. From simple boils to open ulcers. The primary concern of Staph is whether or not it is antibiotic resistant. Once identified and treated, boil style staph need be kept clean avoid damaging the area. Ulcerous staph infections need to be kept very clean, dressed with and antibiotic ointment and kept as dry as possible.
