MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection often presents as a red, swollen, and painful bump on the skin, resembling a spider bite or pimple, which may be warm to the touch and may contain pus. Other symptoms can include fever and chills if the infection is more severe. The only definitive way to diagnose MRSA is through laboratory testing, typically by culturing a sample from the infected area. If you suspect you have MRSA, it's essential to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment.
