Staph is the shortened name for Staphylococcus (pronounced: staf-uh-low-kah-kus), a type of bacteria.
These bacteria can live harmlessly on many skin surfaces, especially around the nose.
But when the skin is punctured or broken for any reason, staph bacteria can enter the wound and cause an infection.
So, yes, I have a staph infection in my nose.
I broke the skin when I rubbed my nose raw because of my cold.
I have a huge abscess in my left nostril.
I'm on 2 antibiotics, an antibiotic cream, and vicodin.
I just took 2 vicodin so I'm going to sleep for a while.
Other than that, life basically sucks.
Money is in the shitter.
I am so sick of things going wrong...
