I have had a MRSA staph infection on my arms and legs for over a year. I live in the tropics and it's very hard to keep the wounds dry. I tried a run of oral antibiotics with no results. I tried antibiotic creams and ointments with some relief. Then I found StaphAseptic. It starts to heal the sores in a few days. I apply it two or three times a day and it is really keeping the infection at bay. Now when I get a new sore, this ointment keeps the wound to the size of a pea, instead of the huge sores I had before and with no pain or swelling. And it smells good and isn't greasy. My only complaint is the packaging. You have to squeeze the tube really hard to get the last ounce out of it. I thought the tube was empty and I didn't have another one, so I just kept squeezing and it lasted for another month.

I contracted a MRSA infection from a family member about 6 months ago. The first abcess that formed was huge and very painful. After a few days of agony I finally went to the hospital and got it lanced/drained and put on cephalexin and bactrim. The first one did go away upon finishing the course of anitbiotics but about 2 weeks later, I got another abcess and another and another. After going to the doctors three different times for various anitbiotics and trying every thing else- neosporin, bacitracin, peroxide, rubbing alcohol, Hibiclens (did work a little), cutting most of the sugar out of my diet, heat treatment ect. Pretty much EVERYTHING and nothing worked. The family member who I got the MRSA from in the first place works in a factory and the on-call Doc. there told him to get StaphAseptic. I went and bought some also from Rite Aid drug store for abour $16, took a shower cleaned the areas with Hiniclens soap let it dry and generously applied staphaseptic over the area, let it dry for about 5 minutes and got dressed. After repeating this for about 3 days (applied 3-5 times per day) most of the sores were gone and the ones that were not were pretty close to being completely healed. I know the box says "not for existing infections" but that is probably because the company can not make the promise that this *will* work for MRSA. Well, it did for me and the other family member. I keep using it (especially after shaving my legs as this is when I would get the worst outbreaks)and about 6 weeks later, I have not had any outbreaks or signs of a MRSA flare up. I can't recommend this product highly enough. The only issue is the product not being widely available in stores but in my experience this price plus shipping is cheaper on Amazon that at our drug stores anyways. Don't hesitate to buy this, it really does work.

Getting over an abscess infected with MRSA required a stronger form of antiseptic for preventative measure, to decrease the likelihood of future MRSA infections. This product, purchased here for that purpose works very well as a first aid antibiotic.

I have been using it for about a month now on any breaks of skin near the previously infected area and anything more than minuscule elsewhere on the body. I've found the gel dries and stays on the skin better than any other antiseptics I've tried (neosporin, polysporin, etc.), making a protective barrier. Additionally, wounds on which I've used this product seem to heal a bit faster and cleaner (less visible early after) than anything else I've used. I feel much safer from repeat MRSA infection using StaphAseptic (corny as the name may be...). I'm glad I got this stuff.

I have given up Neosporin and now keep Staphaseptic in my medicine cabinet as my go-to first aid ointment. It seems to heal my minor injuries much faster than Neosporin. While it may have a very slight sting or tingle on broken skin at first, this lasts only a few seconds and the product really helps with any pain from the wound. It is non-greasy, so it dries and doesn't get on your clothes or anything else. I highly recommend that everyone keep some of this in their medicine cabinet to treat skin problems and injuries.

I suffered multiple outbreaks of MRSA Staph. Now I wash with antimicrobial soap and any bump I get I cover with this product and a bandage. I haven't had a outbreak in 4 months now! I highly recommend this product, not only is it great for staph but as a normal bactericide.

I debated on whether to succumb to the hype about the antibiotic resistant virus problem or not, but figured I'd err on the safe side and order this. I instructed my 15 year old son to use this on any open wounds he gets at school and put the Staphaseptic in our medicine cabinet. Timing is critical and he understood it. About a week later, he said he had a bite or something on his upper thigh and I advised him to use the Staphaseptic. He said he already had, and continued it for a couple days. The redness did not really go away, so my wife took him into the doctor and turns out it was the dreaded virus. He was placed on a heavy dose of antibiotics and it looks like it is finally starting to respond, but it may have been worse had he not used Staphaseptic. However, don't rely on it totally -- get your child checked if something doesn't look right.

Last year I hurt my lower left leg while putting in my garden .I didn't realize it til I changed my clothes.By then it was angry looking & leaking clear fluid .I tried everything I had in the house & almost called the Dr. I probably should have . Then a Friend recommended this stuff .I ordered some & within a few days the wound was healing . Only a small brown scar & an occasional tingle to remind me now .

I have circulation trouble in my lower legs . When they get scratched I apply this stuff Soon. I have cats , a small dog & thorny bushes so scratches happen ,also from me scratching bug bites .
Of course I use it on other parts of me too.Most recently on some chapped facial skin .
But I agree about the packaging .It could be better . They should make some in Wipes or small packs like hand sanitizer . That would be great for purse or pocket as the tube is bulky .
I will be ordering more soon & asking my local WalMart if they stock it & if not, to Please get it . I want more & might even want to Gift some of it .
I Believe that it Saved my leg from my stupidity .

Works well and promoted healing. (Note:I was not allowed to use any topical until the last stages of healing. The incision was left open to drain and heal from the inside out. Used only hydrogen peroxide and sterile dressings most of the time. Did NOT want to use Neosporin. That's why I bought StaphAseptic!)

I paid more on Amazon than if I just went to the store and bought it.

This gel is great for a first aid treatment and treatment of boils, staph, MRSA. The only problem I have is with the smell which reminds me of a very strong eucalyptus plant. It does dry quickly and dries semi clear. The odor does go away after 20-30 minutes.
