MRSA

As scary as this sounds, MRSA can be found almost anywhere in the community today. It used to be mainly a hospital acquired infection but this has drastically changed more recently. With the advent of outpatient infusion centers, outpatient wound care, and irresponsible prescribing and noncompliance of duration of time taking antibiotics we will be left with an enormous amount of new cases of community acquired MRSA each year. This is not unusual, and at FFLC we are determined to treat all cases of foot and ankle concerns, and this includes suspicious cuts, scrapes, and blisters which could ultimately be a serious staph infection. See us right away if you have any concerns.
