Is this Staph infection?

I woke up few days ago with pain on my right bum cheek, saw that a small bit of skin was kind of peeled off. Dismissed it until the next day when few cms below there, I saw another boil/blister. It's tender to touch, not itchy at all (I did not even feel these two blisters forming), and there seemed to be some clear liquid inside (not puss, I think). It's now kinda turning black and the area around is darkening. It does look like it is starting to heal basically and no more blisters have appeared.

I did take antibiotics two months back for my wisdom tooth infection. I know recent use of antibiotic can make you prone to staph infections.

Basically, I am panicking about these two blisters I got. Any ideas what it could be? (I am a virgin to the extreme so I ruled out herpes.)

Hello~

I am sorry you are having these issues. I suggest that you let your doctor know what is occurring, you may need some blood tests to see if there is an infection somewhere or a swab of the area to test for a direct infection.
