I am going to tell you I understand exactly what you mean, it is given for MRS
A and for staph type infections it is a drug that is unique I don't know that I can compare it to another cream or ointment like it I do think it's important that you discuss this with the prescribing doctor and see if he or she can suggest something, I get skin infections due to immune problem and this is something I have to keep but please allow the doctor to know, I just want you to improve and also to be able to get the necessary medication or something that will be of help
