“Metronidazole for a skin infection? ”
I’m having what appears to be a staph skin infection and I have metronidazole on hand. I have no insurance due to being laid off and I’m wondering if this will do the trick? 500mg tablets. The infection is on my shoulder near the clavicle and behind my ear and on my scalp. It's causing the gland to swell near my jaw’s corner and is painful.

Unfortunately, metronidazole is not for bacterial skin infections. So it will not help.
