      Saw urgent care last year and gave me meds. Then I've been taking amoxicillin and it hasn't done anything

      That's not the recommended drugs for chronic MRSA. You need to go back to your doctor and see an infectious disease specialist.

      How long have you been taking amoxicillin for? This isn't really the antibiotic if choice for skin infections. My advice would be to see a doctor, your GP perhaps. So they can examine you, and if they deem it suitable prescribe a more appropriate antibiotic. 

      if you have any questions let me know
