Question: My husband has a bump/sore on his leg it almost looks as if it's outlined in red...MRSA.?
My husband noticed this bump on his leg last weekend. It looked to me like it was a big swollen ingrown hair. This weekend its still there, but the bump has somewhat flattened out looks purplish, and it now looks like its outlined in red...

I know my description is vague, but anyone know anything.? I'm paranoid because my dad has been battling MRSA on and off for the past few months.. And my brother caught impetigo (sp.?)...?

Answers:
Your husband needs to see a doctor ASAP, this could be Lyme disease in which case he needs antibiotics, or it could be something else, but it needs treated like yesterday. Do not put this off.
If you see red streaks going from this, up the leg, do not wait, go to the ER.Health Question & Answer
