The only way to really get rid of it when it wont come to a head is by antibiotics and perhaps being lanced open by a doctor. They can last for years left untreated. Ask your parents to see a doctor to make sure it's not anything else. Staph can make you ill and even kill in some circumstances. Staph is actually common, it's nothing to be ashamed of. I bet over half of the people who've come to this site has had a staph infection at one time in their life. Folks who work in the medical field, such as ER nurses and doctors run a higher risk of getting the infection. Like I said earlier I'm not a doctor and I can't diagnose you, so see your doctor, even if that means taking a trip to the ER if your parents don't have insurance.
