Herpes like blisters that are reoccurring on hand and fingers usually accompanied with red streaks and sometimes warm lump on forearm. Extremely painful small itchy at first and jock itch type symptoms in groin also painful and reoccurring. Should I be concerned about lump being mrsa if I have had mrsa prior. What do you think?

Hello ,
I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

MRSA is a type of Staphylococcus aureus. If it is resistant to commonly used cefoxitin drug it is known as a MRSA.

It is need to test you further as whether it is MRSA or non MRSA. As clinically it is not possible to distinguish it.

But testing is must as it is necessary to start the treatment. Please take out your sensitivity report as it is the gateway of your treatment.
