i'm sorry you're dealing with this. the issue of mrsa (methicillin-resistant streptococcus aureaus) infection continues to grow as a public health concern. as you've learned it can take multiple rounds of antibiotics to treat mrsa. because only the infected spot on your nose is itching i doubt what you're experiencing is a side effect of medication. i guess my point is it's impossible to say what's causing the itching and tingling without a physical examination. if you're scheduled for follow-up with your health care provider you are probably safe to take a wait-and-see approach with this as long as you don't develop a fever or additional symptoms (increased redness/swelling/heat at the infection site feeling like you're coming down with the flu -- that sort of thing). if you don't already have a follow-up appointment scheduled i'd suggest making one. you and your doctor want to be sure that infection is well and truly gone. in the meantime be sure take precautions against spreading any possible remaining infection by washing your hands often and thoroughly; not sharing towels or clothing that may have touched the infected spot; and routinely disinfecting routinely touched surfaces by using antimicrobial wipes or something similar. i hope this helps!
i was diagnosed with mrsa in mid sept on my nose. why does the healed spot still hurt and tingle/ich? . i just finished my third round of zyvox. i don't know if the pain may be side effects of the drug or if the mrsa still hasn't gone away.
