What does an MRSA infection look like?
Most MRSA infections are skin infections that look like an insect bite. Often these infections appear near broken skin, like cuts, or areas of the body covered by hair (such as back of the neck, groin, buttocks, armpits). You should see your doctor if your child has an open wound like a cut and a fever, or if an infection being treated with antibiotics doesn’t improve or heal after three or four days of treatment.
