107: Symptoms Of A Staph Infection On Your Skin - a podcast by Jennifer Fugo, CNS, MS, Skin Rash Expert

Have you ever wondered what the symptoms of a staph infection on your skin are?
I have come to discover that a lot of people really don't know what the symptoms are which can lead to delay in seeking help from your doctor.
Recently, I asked my Instagram community if they knew what to look for if you're having a flare and it might be staph.
I was surprised to discover that 98% wanted me to talk more about staph infections and weren't clear on what the symptoms are.
And I've found this issue with clients who desperately manage a flare. But because they don't know the symptoms of a staph infection on the skin, they don't even consider it as an option.
Failure to identify a staph infection can lead to a potentially unnecessary period of suffering.
That's why I decided to share what you should look out for.
Because I'm not a doctor, this is certainly not intended to help you diagnose a staph infection. It's my hope that it will help you know when to see your doctor rather than trying to just deal with it on your own.
In this episode:
- Client story about staph infection
- Is it worth it to blend alternative and conventional approaches?
- 98% of my audience didn't know the symptoms of a skin staph infection
- Signs of a Staph infection you need to be aware of
- Are Staph infections only a concern for people with Eczema?
Quotes:
Staph infections can happen to anyone and that means that they are not an eczema-specific problem! I've worked with psoriasis clients who are struggling with staph as well.
Burning skin and a deep, awful itch are two key symptoms during a flare that could spell the difference between a rash flare and a staph infection.
