Suggest Treatment For Boil On The Leg When Diagnosed With A MRSA Infection

I have been diagnosed with mrsa few years back. Currently have boil on inside of leg that not to a head but has been there for bout 5 days. Few hours ago I couldn t stand it anymore and attempted to pop it for relief. Squeezed extremely hard and could not get it to pop. After reading on Internet which I probably shouldn t have done. Am worried I might have popped internally bc it went down a little but not much. Now back of knee starting to get sore when moving. And have a little relief at spot of boil. Should I b worried that might get into bloodstream or just wait it out and see if gets worse or better. Am prescribed minocycline but only take when needed instead of every day. Taken one pill 3 days this week. Thanks

For boil on the leg you can take some antibiotic like cefadroxyl or moxikind-cv after an expert opinion along with ibugesic-plus or combiflam to reduce the redness, pain and swelling. Do hot fomentation over the affected area and do regular dressing under strict aseptic precautions if needed.
