Staph is the common term but it's medical term is Staphylococcus. It is bacteria which commonly lives on the skin and is harmless in this environment. It's when the skin is broken and the infection enters it that it can cause problems.Staph contains over thirty different types of bacteria and is responsible for a number of illnesses with most non life threatening.

Staph infections normally begin with a small area of redness. The area may be very tender and swollen. It may or may not begin with a break in the skin. The affected area may become quite warm and painful. If this occurs, then chances are good you have been infected by the Staph Cellulitis strain of the bacteria.

If you notice an area of your body has become sore and and there is a physical anomaly present such as a boil present then you need to see your doctor. In some cases, a person will also experience fever symptoms. Your doctor may be required to drain the area of pus and then prescribe a course of antibiotics. Staph infection can also be passed from person to person through skin contact.

Staph Bacteria can also live on food products that are not stored under proper conditions(not hot or cold enough). Such ill kept food products become a breeding ground for staph bacteria which then inject their harmful toxins into the food. Various food products such as meat, milk, tuna, potatoes, mayonaise etc can turn into a breeding ground for staph bacteria when not stored properly.

If the staph infection is in one of the most common areas that they occur, the hair follicles, they will make a whitehead. Sometimes they will erupt into a boil. This can happen anywhere that there are hair follicles; the face, the bum, armpits and inner thighs are the more common places. If it is a boil it is more going to be more uncomfortable that a whitehead.
