Wounds not healing - possible staph?

My mom has MRSA but I've barely been around her. I have a few wounds, though, that aren't healing much at all - some of them aren't healing at all! While some were ones that were caused by something, a few appeared out of nowhere.

That said, they're not oozing anything, and they don't really hurt. They're red, though.

I have a doctor's appointment to get them swabbed on Monday morning, but I'm wondering if the wounds not healing is even a sign of staph or if there are other things I should be looking for that would be a more accurate sign.

diabetes, will prolong healing. Only a doctor can diagnose

It could be staph...not sure without seeing exactly what it looks like...and even then test needed to be sure.

Home products that you can use....Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. It's the kind that looks cloudy if you shake it up. Dab some of this on the spots. The vinegar kills staph and will aid in its healing. In fact the Apple Cider Vinegar is good to put on any cuts or sores...it kills the germs and helps heal faster.
