I can tell if it is mrsa by the way it looks. Its red with a hard center and just keeps getting bigger. Can get cellulitis around it also.

it is when fluid starts building up under the skin, usually it will be hard in the middle then you have like a ring fluid that makes the skin appear puffy and red. Thats what I have seen anyways.

you need to have it checked right away. mrsa can only be seen under a microscope seeing its a bacteria so unless tested you don't know. However if you have been positive in the past, if you do not take care of this area if can also become infected with it. So be safe and have it checked out.

Yeah - I thought it was back, too. It had the appearance. But it turned out to be an infected spider bite that abscessed. Glad I got it looked at! The imaginary MRSA was worse than the actual bite.
