What Causes Staph Infections With Swollen Lymph With Bloody Stools?

I have been getting cysts and staph infections on my face this past year. I had my first one on my forehead and had never had staph before. I then got it a few months later on my cheek, forehead again and then armpit. All pretty close times and now again on my cheek. While this time my head, ear, eye and lymph modes are swollen and tender and painful. I just had bloody stool. What could be the problem?
