I have a staph infection on my buttocks. I got one before on my calf and my doctor told me I could let it run its course or take antibiotics and have it lanced and packed. I opted for the antibiotics and packing, but shortly after I ended up with 3 more, one on my hip my buttocks and the other calf. When I got the first one I stopped going to the gym, changed my bed sheets every night, took 1-2 showers a day with antibacterial soap, etc. I m a really healthy clean person, showers everyday, so there was no good explanation for it spreading like that. Should I try to let this one run its course? It s hard, red and almost purple at the center. Should I wait for it to pop and weep on it s own or go see a doctor about a pimple on my butt (embarrassing)
