I’ve had an itchy nose and skin infection on my scalp which won’t go away. GP has taken a swap and it’s positive for MRSA. So far I’ve had two rounds of naseptin nasal cream and an octenisan wash lotion. We’ve also had a 10 day regime of daily hot washing bedding, deep cleaning and all using the nasal cream.
Unfortunately it’s come back again… I will be heading back to the GP bit does anyone know if there is anything else I can be asking for?

Have you been checked for deficits which might be making your immune system more run down? Anaemia, diabetes, thyroid issues etc?
