MRSA is treatable. All though only so many antibiotics will treat MRSA patients. Once the MRSA is cleared from the skin, patients that were put on the antibiotics will still need to take the medicine so MRSA will not reappear.

For patients not on antibiotics the wound will be drained or popped from the skin.
