 [ Symptoms ] i was diagnosed with mrsa in mid sept on my nose why does the healed spot still hurt and tingleich  i just finished my third round of zyvox i do not know if the pain may be side effects of the drug or if the mrsa still has not gone away [ Disease ] i am sorry you are dealing with this the issue of mrsa methicillin resistant streptococcus aureaus infection continues to grow as a public health concern as you have 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 are experiencing is a side effect of medication i guess my point is it is impossible to say what is causing the itching and tingling without a physical examination if you are 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 do not develop a fever or additional symptoms increased rednessswellingheat at the infection site feeling like you are coming down with the flu    that sort of thing if you do not already have a follow up appointment scheduled i would 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
