What Causes Scars And Inflammation Around The Area Of The Bacterial Infection?

Hello Dr. Grief, I am an athlete (LONG-DISTANCE RUNNER) at the international level. I recently suffered infection from 2 serious bacterial infections, one being stapha aurea. The sites of the scars are on the upper thighs. I am concerned that there is inflammation in tissues which are soft around the area. I am addressing muscle scar tissue with massage but do not understand what is happening with the inflamed areas. Is the tissue sub-cutaneous tissue? I have very little fat, so I doubt the tissue is fat, nor is it deep enough to be muscle. What treatment do you suggest? Stretching relieves stiffness. I look forward to your response.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you.

I think your infection with Staphylococcus aureus is spreading. The reason for spreading must be nonresponse from the antibiotics prescribed to you.

I advice you should do antimicrobial susceptibility test for Staphylococcus aureus. There are strains of this bacteria having MRSA which will not respond to routine antibiotics.

I will be glad to answer your further query.
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
Wish you a best health.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank.
