If it started out as a blister and has some reddness to it, it could be MRSA. If the dermatologist did a culture they should know in a few days if it is the MRSA infection. Can be cured with high dose antibiotics. I have a place on my chest near my port that they think is a skin met. It is brown and edges are very irregular. Still waiting on biopsy report. Let us know what they find out.
