What Are the Treatments for a Staph Infection?
A staph infection is caused by the staphylococcus bacteria. According to the Mayo Clinic, the staph bacteria can cause skin infections such as impetigo, cellulitis, boils, and what is referred to as “boiled skin syndrome.” If the staph bacteria gets into the bloodstream it can lead to blood poisoning, septic arthritis and toxic shock syndrome. Staph infections need to be treated as soon as they are diagnosed, but the treatments can be limited.
