Hi,
thank you for writing in.
Staphylococal infection is very common but very contagious infection.
It spreads by direct contact.
Its better you cure the infection first.
It may cause serious complications like staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, toxic shock symdrome.
Kindly get her treated completely first.
Thank you
