Thanks for your post.  The most important thing you can do is to get to a doctor as soon as possible.  A professional medical evaluation is most important in order to properly diagnose and treat whatever you might be facing.

 

In the meantime, I did a search on our site and found numerous references to staphylococcus infection.

 

I thought you could review as you wish.

 

All the best, sue
