Suggest Treatment For Blood Infection

blood infection maybe idk
i was having some trouble with a messed up discharge with it smelling soooo bad and I have been having like staph keep developing and I have been having breakouts on my face but its like scabs and big sores but recently the smell from the discharge stopped and it smells normal and my face healed up and someone told me it sounded as if I had a blood infection and I was wondering if there is a such thing as a bactrerial blood infection cause the symptoms of the discharge was a bacterial infection and I.guess my body just healed itself....is that possible I went to the e.r and they told.me they could not.treat me.for.those symptoms that I needed to a std clinic but I dont.think its.std.related.because it all stopped at the same time the symptoms I mean

Thanks for your query at HCM!
I went through your query!

As you are having break-outs off/on it could be pimples which have got secondarily infected (aerobic/anaerobe bacteria).
Get discharge collected on swab and test for culture.
You will need antibiotic prescription.
Keep your face clean and dry.
Kindly describe your lesions in detail. You might need retinoin(0.25%) ointment treatment and medicated face wash.
Do you have any other symptoms?
Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide.
Take care!
