I was with a friend the other day who came in contact with someone who had to be hospitalized for MRSA, and my mother was in contact with a coworker who was hospitalized with it.
I got a small pimple-like thing on my chest, and then another next to it and it has a patch of lighter skin around it. It's REALLY small and pretty unnoticeable though. There is another thing that looks like a pimple next to it. It seriously could be nothing and I could just be breaking out. The thing that worries me is the patch of lighter skin around it.
I don't have any open cuts or anything, but I did get my nose pierced two weeks ago and I know that MRSA carriers have it in their noses. I'm a healthy 19 year old, I don't play sports, go to a gym, etc. I do live in a college dorm but my bathroom is only shared with 4 people, it's cleaned regularly and we all use our own products.
I know it could be and probably is nothing, but what should I look out for?
