When to seek medical advice
Keep an eye on minor skin problems — pimples, insect bites, cuts and scrapes — especially in children. If wounds become infected, see your doctor.
Signs and symptoms of a wound infection
Redness, warmth and tenderness of the wound
Pus — a yellowish-white fluid that may have a foul smell
Fever
Ask to have any skin infection tested for MRSA before starting antibiotic therapy. Some drugs that treat ordinary staph aren't effective against MRSA, and their use could lead to serious illness and more resistant bacteria.
