I currently am using Doxycycline to treat my extreme case of scalp Folliculitis, they ran some testing to see what other bacteria's grew from the samples and staph was found. They told me to continue taking my pills and to hit the 100 pills I have hard until they run out. It is like 8 days after the appointment, my scalp acne/folliculitis has receded and disappeared. I am going to finish off the rest of the pills and if it comes back make another appointment. So yes, Doxycycline can help treat minor cases of staph infections. But I recommend going to a doctor first and get put on the correct medicine. Self medicating is not something I would consider doing especially with something as serious as Staph.
