What does the beginning of a staph infection look like?
It certainly might be, by the sound of the description. You need to get it checked out if it enlarges or spreads. Take a look at the pictures on: http://www.mrsamedical.com/mrsapicturese… If these start occuring on other parts of the body, then it is very likely either staph or mrsa. A Staph infection often looks like a spider bite and the boil is normally pus-filled with a bright red ring around the outside. Hope that helps…
