What causes MRSA? or a pimple to turn into a huge boil on a person's body?

How does one contact MRSA? What causes it to form on a person's body? Does small pimples soon get so clogged on a person's body that they grow into boils on a person's body and lead to MRSA? or Cellulitus?

    MRSA is methicillin resistant staph aureus. It is a bacteria. You get it from someone else who has it or something they touched like a doorknob. Some people carry this bacteria on the skin in warm moist places like inside the nose or in the belly button so that if there is broken skin the bacteria are already there and can get in easily and cause an infection. The bacteria just living in the nose does not always cause an infection, but it is a ready source to spread the bacteria. Clogged pores can lead to inflammation like acne, but it takes the bacteria to cause an infection. Inflammation and infection can look identical so a culture is helpful to determine the cause. Someone cannot look at you and say you have MRSA without a culture to prove it. It is just a guess.

    nicely the respond is on your individual description. YOU POP THEM! Your no longer meant to that! Ofcourse you get a scab. no rely in case you do it "gently" you will continuously get a scab! And it takes a on a similar time as to heal. some scabs might stay perpetually! Or a looong time. As for the pimples/pimples attempt to scrub your face with a on a daily basis pore purifier two times an afternoon. if your pimple difficulty is actual undesirable attempt a salicylic acid medicine. Many drug shops have them. i want to recommend clean & clean!(: sturdy success!
