Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. It is very bad idea to take steroid for the MRSA infection. Avoid taking steroid for any infection in the future. I advice you should take the vancomycin under your doctors guidance. VRSA is the drug used in treatment of the MRSA organisms. MRSA is very notorious so please take the complete drug. Once the drug is complete you can apply the mupirocin ointment to clear the remaining bug in the system. Mupirocin clear the MRSA from our body. You can check it by swabbing the groin, umbilicus and other parts. If the MRSA won t detected than you are clear from the MRSA and you will not receive any infection form the MRSA thereafter from this bugs. Please maintian good hygiene this is equally important as taking antibiotics. Good hand washing is also important tool to combat infection. Good cleaning locally and dressing should be done to clear the infection at earliest. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
