This has been healing. Went to the doctor 5 days ago and just got a text today confirming it's staph.

History: went to a rehab with shared showers. Got back 10 days ago. Slept of my friends antique couch for 5 days after leaving rehab. Moved off the antique couch onto a futon next time the couch. That's when the rash started flaring on my right hand. Got sunburned and it turned into boils. The boils never healed. The rash on my left hand is what the one on the rigjt looked like before the boils. Sores around my mouth which have resolved with blistex.

Have been dealing with severe mold contamination as well as concurrent alcoholism for years. I often contaminate beds due my detoxing mold and hygiene has been an issue even though I shower and buy new clothes regularly.

My mouth now burns and I don't want this to spread to my lungs.

Doctor wants to put me on a antibiotics. Last time I took antibiotics I got really sick so I'm hesitant.

Seeking any advice or lifestyle changes.
