Are CA-MRSA infections treatable?
Yes. CA-MRSA infections are most often treated with good wound care. Sometimes, antibiotics are needed. CA-MRSA is not killed by the usual antibiotics so alternative antibiotics may be used. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider if your wound is not healing, or appears to be getting worse. Drainage of skin boils or abscesses should only be done by a health care provider.
