Boils why do people get them? and what is a staff infection?
MY DAUGHTER GETS BOILS ALL THE TIME TO A POINT SHE HAS A REDNESS AROUND IT THE SIZE OF A SAUCER SMALL PLATE!!! AND ALSO THE DR. SAID SHE HAS A STAFF INFECTION, WHAT IS THAT?
Answer:
Everyone else has nailed it. Staph is a bacteria that normally lives on your skin, in your nose, etc.The one thing I haven't seen listed so far is that a certain strain of this is MRSA (multiple resistant staph) that we in the medical community are seeing more and more of. It is very aggressive and resistant to many medicines and your body's immune system.This may explain why your daughter is becoming infected so often. You can have your daughter cultured for this type of staph and if positive she has to be treated with certain medicines (your doctor will know) to permanently eradicate the bacteria. If you don't want to go back to your doctor you can at least go after the likely source,...her nose. You can use an antibiotic ointment on the inside of the beginning of her nostrils (the vestibule) for a week or so and potentially rid yourself of this bother. Good luck!

Staph is a bacteria. It causes an infection. Usually it takes a culture to find out what kind of staph she has, and then it can be treated with antibiotics. As for the boils: They're infections. If you're prone to infections, you may get lots of boils. It just happens with some people.
Boils and acne are all caused by the staph bacteria. We all carry the staph bacteria in our body when it gets out of control it causes things like acne and boils. Some people are very prone to boils or severe acne and they usually need antibiotics to control the bacteria and help with the acne or the boils.
The doctor probably meant staphylococcus skin infections. This is the cause of some pus-filled abscesses or painful boils. Usually, boils are lanced and a ribbon-like wick is inserted in them to keep their surfaces open; this helps to dry out the infected site. Sufferers of such chronic conditions are usually given chlorhexidine soaps, and sometimes, anti-bacterial creams or a course of antibiotics.
You mean a staph infection. Staph stands for Staphylococcus. A staph infection is when you have an open wound on your skin and bacteria enters it. They can spread and result in an amputation of the affected body part. (In rare cases). Talk to your doctor. Your own saliva can cause a staph infection, such as when you get a paper cut and automatically put your finger in your mouth.

Staph infection is short for a staphylococcus infection. A staphylococci are a form of bacteria. So your daughter has a bacterial infection, not necessarily related to the boils. Boils can be caused by other things.
A boil, also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells that the body sends from the blood stream to eradicate the infection. This collection of white blood cells, bacteria, and proteins is known as pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head," which can be surgically opened or spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin.
Staphylococcus is group of bacteria, familiarly known as Staph.
The name "Staphylococcus" comes from the Greek staphyle meaning a bunch of grapes + kokkos meaning berry, and that is exactly what Staph look like under the microscope, like a bunch of grape or little round berries. (In technical terms, these are gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, usually unencapsulated cocci.)
Unbroken skin usually provides a barrier to prevent bacteria from entering the body. However, any break in the skin, from a cut or skin disease, may permit the bacteria to enter and inflame the layers of skin. Environmental changes, including warmer weather, may also provide more opportunities for the bacteria to affect the body.
