Hello, zoeee0771 I think I might be able to help you I am 34 and I had staph myself about 3 years ago, I will start by telling you my expeirience with it and if you have any questions feel free to ask. I was feeling fine the night before, I went to bed and the next morning I woke up with a spider bite looking mark on my upper theigh so I start messing with it trying to pop it and yes some puss came out and it hurt so bad as the day went on i started feeling sick to my stomach fever, chills and the spot looked horrible now there was a red raised welt almost the size of my theigh and i couldn't even touch it without pain so I went to the doc and sure enough it was stap they had to drain it gave me antibiotics and pain meds sent me on my way as it started to clear up i noticed another one on my but check i didnt mess wiith this one because it was way worse so I go back to the er and they say its another staph abcess but they did blood work and found out that it had turned to mirsa so put cream in my nose and sent me home i have been fine ever since. I'm sorry maybe i gave you too much info. I will tell you how you can tell if it is staph it starts out a little red bump with a tiny brown spot in the middle of it. DO NOT PICK AT IT!!! staph is very contaigous it also spreads easier if you pic it. I hope I helped you some what
