4. Abscesses
Abscesses are collections of pus that gather inside our body tissues. When the MRSA infection enters our internal systems, abscesses of all kinds could rise up as a result.
These could include the boils and pimples we’ve discussed earlier but may also be simple bumps or selling. When you press such an abscess, you may feel some warmth as well as a fluid build-up inside of it. Other signs of an MRSA abscess is that it’s consistently swelled up, painful, and has redness around it.
Abscesses may normally be seen in places that have hair and may arise around hair follicles. This makes sense since ingrown hair or open follicles are an open invitation to infections in any case. Carbuncles are a larger type of abscess that also have something to do with hair follicles. If an abscess is extremely large, it may require an ultrasound to determine the underlying cause.
