Please do not self-medicate with Cifran OZ or Vancomycin, as they are not the correct choices for a local MSSA skin infection. For safety and proper healing, you should see a specialist. I highly recommend consulting a colorectal surgeon or a dermatologist to evaluate this boil, as it may need professional drainage. To prevent future infections, an infectious disease specialist can guide you through an MSSA decolonization protocol using special washes. Keep the area clean and dry in the meantime.
