In some less severe cases of staph infections cleaning and draining the wound is usually enough to get rid of the staff infection at home.

But in other cases a doctors visit is needed to get rid of the staph infection and you might need to take antibiotics to kill off the bacteria that is causing the staph infection.

Staph infection can be caused by skin contact so make sure your hands are kept clean as well as any cuts and scrapes and keep cuts bandaged until they're healed to prevent a staph infection.

Staph infection can get serious enough to be fatal so do go see a doctor to be sure it's not too serious.
