Reply to important cleansing
Quote From: spunky99My adult daughter got MRSA. The doctors treated the outbreaks with the attitude of "No Biggie" She kept insisting that they do a culture, and much like Stephanie she was put off. She never gave up. Finally she found a doctor who was astounded the other doctors had not even done a culture. She was put on antibiotics and was given strict instructions on hand washing and the normal precautions including the Antibiotic ointment in the nose 2 to 3 times a day. MRSA will manifest in the nose then spread. Over time she would have break outs of the MRSA bumps especially under her arms along the bra line. Her doctor asked her if she was wearing her clothes more than one day at a time and her original answer was no, she changes every day. The Doctor told her to change her bedding daily and night clothes as well.
The thing my daughter had not thought about was changing her BRA every day. She didn't have enough bras for a daily change so what she would do is to take her bra every night and wash it with antibacterial hand washing soap as there was no antibacterial wash soap then would let it dry. Also new sheets every night and new bed clothes every night. This worked. She has been outbreak free now for about 5 months.
I hope Stephanie sees this as her bumps are under her arm as well, Remember to change the bras daily.
Best of luck to all who have been affected by this super-bug. To the mom's whose daughter has mrsa around the bra area......I am almost certain now this is what I am dealing with. Three years ago I had a spot on my left breast biopsied. They were completely puzzled by it. After being poked and prodded by 2 or 3 more doctors a diagnosis still was not established. Shortly thereafter I had a breast reduction and the spot was removed and I thought it was gone. Now 2 years later it has returned under my right breast. I am wondering what type of cleansing products you have found effective for washing the contaminated clothing?
