staph infection
I've been getting staph infections a few times over the past 6 months, Once on my leg, then another one popped up around my butt... then after those went down, I got another one on my stomach a couple months later... I have horrible scarring. I have two purple dots on my legs, then a purple dot on my stomach... it's just gross looking and it makes me self-concious...
But anyways... I have another one.. that I just got... on the side of my lip... and now I'm really starting to get nervous about the scarring. I need to figure out where the staph is coming from, it's probably living around my room somewhere, but in the meantime I'm worried about how I'm going to get this scar to go away once the welt goes down. I know I'm going to have a purple dot on my lip and I'm getting really paranoid.
Is there any way to prevent this sort of scarring form the scar tissue that's going to form afterwards? Any home remedies, any antibiotic/scar treatments? Tea-Tree Oil, hot compresses? ANYTHING. please help.

You need to see a doctor. A staph infection is just that, an infection. It needs anti-botics, possibly a topical or in pill form. It's not coming from your room, usually you catch it in public places (like a public pool). If you really think its a cause in your house, get lysol disinfectant spray and go over surfaces. Besides that, make sure you go to the doctor.
