Ben asked:
I got a graze on my shin and knee from skidding on artificial grass, the next day I noticed it was infected so went and got some antibiotics from the pharmacist. 2 days later it was even more swollen so I went to see a doctor and he said the swelling was from the original fall (even though I told him I didn’t fall hard at all). They didn’t do a blood test or give me any intravenous antibiotics.

A scab still hasn’t formed over the worst part, and it is 5 days later and I’ve nearly finished my course of antibiotics, and it is still quite hot and red. Also I woke up with a sty on my eyelid. Could the infections be linked? Do I have cellulitis? Is it possible I have MRSA? ( I read an article correlating astroturf burns and MRSA)
Thanks for your help
