Is Staph Infection A Contagious Disease?
Hi, My sister has recently had blisters, puss and redness around her genitile area, her last partner had a staph infection but the docter she went to see said it looks like herpes. Is it possible for a staph infection to be transmitted over to someone as herpes? and does a staph infection burn when you urinate? please help, very worried about her.
