Management

For very mild disease, no treatment may be necessary
Stop/minimise shaving or waxing the area (if relevant)
Antiseptic washes
Eradicate nasal staphylococcal carriage if found (as this is a potential source of recurrent disease)
Consider topical antibiotic for localised disease (e.g. clindamycin lotion)
Oral antibiotic, e.g. flucloxacillin, for 1-2 weeks for acute disease
Prolonged course (e.g. 3-6 months) of oral antibiotic, usually lymecycline or doxycycline, for chronic disease
