Suggest Treatment For Staph Infection

I m being treated for a staph infection inside my nose with oral antibiotic and cream. In addition to this, frequent blowing of my nose has caused the skin on top of my nose and at the base to become red and raw. What can I do and/or use to help the skin? A more natural approach is preferable. Thank you.

thanks for posting your query to HCM .
Saphylococus is harbour in nasal caviy and some time present without producing any clinical illness . so you need to take cmplete cource of antibiotic to cure it .
I wanted to know what medicartion you had taked so far .
As oral antibiotics are not very much effective alone ,it should be added with local application .
Further you should take medication according to your culture and snsitivity report and if you didnt test that go ahed for that .
Mupirocine ointment are useful in clearing infection agent wih oral antibiotics .
So send me the deail of your medicaion as per your sensitivity report .
thanks
