There are multiple strains of MRSA and some of them are easier to treat than others. The first stage of MRSA is the least dangerous and is the best time to begin treatment. You may notice bumps on the skin that look like spider bites, boils or pimples. These bumps, if left untreated, will get worse until abscesses form. These abscesses may require draining by your doctor or surgeon.

If the MRSA bacteria reaches the bloodstream, serious problems can result. MRSA can infect the heart, lungs, bones and other areas of the body.
