I've been getting staph for about the last two years every two to three months. Twelve time in total so far.... The doctors have said i just catch it more often than most poeple. I shower right after workouts and after rolling I scrub down with head and shoulders, hebiclens, then dial antibacterial body wash. Then I lube down with good lotion. I take multi-vitamins and am in good health. My skin just hates me. I've even tried taking tetracycline. That just made me break out with more whiteheads that like to get infected. Has anyone else had these problems and if so is there hope out there?

I've never had staph, but I have fierce allergies and am prone to rashes.  I'm a big fan of Defense Soap.  They have soaps, oil, washes etc that kill most every bacteria known to man.  defensesoap.com

Long Sleeve Rash Guards and Full Length Leggings (I believe they even make some out of anti-bacterial material now, though I haven't tried them yet... kind of pricey, but if you're making payments at the doctors anyway, it might be worth a try).

^^^ when I'm in a gym I don't know I also ware leggin's, wrestling shoes, rashguard and gloves, and just in case I wear gi paints and a sweatshirt.  Its a bit hot but I don't worry about staphe.  I also bleach and wash everything in hot water.... it's a bit of an overkill but staph is a pain.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"
