Here is a CA-MRSA decolonization process to help remove MRSA from your skin and prevent recurrences of the infection. These steps should be taken after the MRSA infection has cleared.
- Wash your hair and body as usual with your normal shampoo and soap.
- Rinse your hair and body thoroughly to remove all shampoo and soap residues, then turn off water.
- Apply chlorhexidine soap (like Hibiclens Antiseptic Soap) to your entire body FROM THE NECK DOWN (to avoid ears and eyes) for five (5) minutes.
- Rinse with water only (no soap), then pat dry with a clean towel.
- Repeat daily for seven (7) days.

This has been a life saving product. My 3 year old had reoccuring staph infections, after weekly use of this product she has now been infection free for 1 year. Just make sure you get the foaming pump with this product, this will make the application much easier with zero product loss.
I just wanted to note that this product comes with a pump. I wish I had known this, since I ordered a pump at the same time I ordered Hibiclens. Oh well. I can only state that the product "seems" good, since I've only been using it for a short time (upon suggestion from a dermatologist).
my father is a doctor. since i was a small child, i've been around hibiclens. i used to wash my hands on purpose when i visited him at the hospital. i use hibiclens because it will destroy any pathogen in its way. when they claim a broad range of efficacy, they understate. it smells absolutely terrific, is aggressive enough to prepare a surgeons hands for work, and gentle enough to use every day. if you're using antibacterial soaps that rely on super-icky furans like triclosan or triclocarban, then it's time to give those the boot. for an extra couple of bucks, here is a cleanser with a proven history, myriad uses outside the medical field, which can be obtained without prescription. if you're interested in a skin scrub to eradicate ANY nasties, this is the one, ne plus ultra
Very good antiseptic, more so for healing wounds. We even use it for treating exzema.
Why do I use Hibiclens? I am an obese female and my doctor was the one who recommended using Hibiclens as a way to keep the areas of my body which have "folds" clean. I use a clean wash cloth each day and the Hibiclens. This has prevented me from having sores and smelly body odor that is offensive to myself and others. I have recommended this item to my sister who also uses it and she is thrilled! The cheapest way to purchase this item is by buying it in the 16 oz. bottle and just refill a small bottle as necessary. This makes it easier for travel as well. I was absolutely excited to find that Amazon.com carries this item. Regular store prices are double the price Amazon gives me, even with shipping/handling. I highly recommend this item to anyone!

I use hibiclens to combat adult acne (bacterial) per my old, now retired, MD's advice. He first gave me a sample from his office in a, well, lets call it a sample cup and leave it there. Prior to this a specialist had me on daily antibiotics which made me feel like cattle! The clear bottles of hibiclens I buy from Kaiser Pharmacy COME with the foaming pumps, so this might be a solution for people who have the blueish tint bottles. In either case, the foaming pump makes it alot easier to dispense a small amount of hibiclens which is all that is needed. It is one of the best topical agents against MRSA with proven kills and lasts on the skin for 6 hrs after washing hands - a true friend in the flu season. My new MD's opinion is that there are only 2 real antibacterial products today - hibiclens and betadyne (iodine solution with all the staining effects) so if you don't want to look like you left the OR this is a true solution to killing all the nasties and keeping your health.
