Can a Staph infection come back?
It is possible to have a Staph or MRSA skin infection recur in the same or a different location. This may be due to re-infection with Staph carried in the nose or on other parts of your body or by acquiring Staph from contact with other people who carry it without any symptoms. Either way, taking care of the skin, including washing with soap and water, is important to decreasing your risk of a Staph infection coming back.
