Pus
The blisters are hard and contain pus that makes them warm to the touch. In addition to the unsightly appearance, these bumps are painful. When they break open, the pus can cause the infection to spread to other areas of the body. The pus is highly infectious and can spread MRSA to other people.
Carefully cleaning the pus and keeping the area covered can reduce the transmission of MRSA to loved ones and caregivers.
