Staph carrier, feeling sick, boils
Hi, everyone!
I have been dealing with being a staph carrier for a while now (4+ years) and I just found a boil again where the sun doesn’t shine. I think it might have accidentally popped, anyway, I used an alcohol wipe, then put some mupiricin on it and dabbed it with coconut oil/tea tree oil…and sprayed some probiotic spray. I think I’ll do a Hibiclens treatment today too. I didn’t realize a had this boil until last night, I get small ones on my upper legs and bottom 🙁 . Anyway, I’ve also been feeling flu like and I think the staph is hurting my immune system. I’m hoping that extra Vit C, OJ, chicken soup, spinach omelette, salmon all help today. I need to boost my immune system. In the past, I’ve taken antibiotics at times and then these infections come back worse. 🙁
Anyone out there treat their recurrent staph naturally? I also use mupiricin in my nose, and try and boost my immunity with oregano oil, and manuka honey. It’s a tough battle!! Thanks everyone!! Stay well.

Have you had access to consultation with an infectious disease specialist or a dermatologist.?
If you have other health issues that may make you
susceptible to recurrences. A culture test to check
for resistant staph may help pinpoint a better treatment.
If mupirocin is not effective prescription gentamicin cream can work against staph as well.
Bath instructions with a prescribed measure of chlorine
can help in chronic skin colonization. Confer with your
doctor about external exposures such as pets or partners.
