Staph scalded skin syndrome is an infection that causes skin blistering, which can affect the vulva.
Impact of Cinnamomum on Staphylococcus aureus biofilms
Staph biofilms are susceptible to some of the active constituents in cinnamon, making Cinnamomum a possible treatment avenue for resistant infections.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria typically found living in the mouth, nose, or skin without causing any harm. Some strains of Staph have become antibiotic resistant, and are now classified as ‘superbugs’, with MRSA infections very difficult to treat with regular antibiotic methods. Methicillin is a synthetic form of
Staphylococcus aureus vulvovaginal infections
Staphylococcus aureus, also known as golden staph, is one of the most common skin infections of humans. Vaginal colonisation is a bit less common, but does happen, as part of aerobic vaginitis.
Vaginal boric acid fact sheet
Boric acid is a management strategy for yeast or bacterial infections.
Study: Coriander and thyme essential oils for vaginal infections
A study takes a closer look at whether coriander and thyme essential oils work on biofilms.
Study: How cinnamon oil interferes with biofilm formation
Cinnamon oil has antimicrobial properties that interfere with biofilm formation of certain gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Staphylococcus bacterial biofilms
Staph biofilms have been found on regular-use tampons and pads (after use).
Vaginal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection
MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant form of Staph that can infect the vagina. It can be life-threatening.
Understanding toxic shock syndrome
Toxic shock syndrome is a rare Staph infection that gets into the blood, which has been associated with leaving tampons in for too long.
