What are the symptoms of a S. aureus or MRSA skin infection?
Signs of a skin infection include redness, warmth, swelling, and tenderness of the skin. Some people with MRSA might think they have a “spider bite.” For most people, it isn’t serious. Others may develop boils, blisters, pustules or abscesses. The infection can cause a fever and/or chills. People with fever and/or chills should see their health-care provider.
