Wash well with soap and water and apply warm, moist compresses (hot washrag) several times a day until cleared.

It never grew and some clear stuff came out, it only hurts to touch now BUT he is whining of joint pain.. He is a huge dramatic baby lol no fever sooo I am still watching and icing it.
I have had MRSA twice and can't take penicillin or sulfur so I know how fun that stuff is
