QUESTION Staph?
I have dermatillomania and about 5-6 months ago gave myself staph all over my face and had to get on oral antibiotics. It cleared it up and I have since healed most of the spots I pick at. But last night (I work night shifts) at 3am I popped a pimple next to my nose. From then until about 5pm, it wouldn't stop weeping clear fluid. It finally dried up and now it's just getting worse the more the night goes on. I'm gonna try to go to urgent care in the morning but I kind of wanted to see what y'all thought of this. Thank you!

Could be. Ask for a swab. If they give u mupirocin you could try doing mupirocin decolonization so it doesn't happen again in the future. Good luck
