I had to go to the ER last week monday because it was getting worse really fast, I had no primary care because my last one left the network and all the docs up here aren’t accepting new patients. The ER doc prescribed 2 dif antibiotics, without culture, thank god one was the right one. Lucked out and found a new primary care about 30miles away who would do the follow up. First thing he did was take a swab of the sore.Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, bad shit and it could have come from a spider bite. I'm glad you sought care early and they got you on the right antibiotics. This is why antibiotics should NEVER be given without a culture and sensitivity except in extremis. That's how we ended up here. This bacteria is now part or your resident fauna so never let a potential source of infection go. Be very proactive in terms of treating cuts.
