Staph or Strep?

Poor Luke has been battling this infection for 2 weeks.  It came on so fast.  After first noticing it, and getting him to the doctor, it had spread from looking like a marble, to this.  He was also covered in hives on his arms and torso.  The doctor cultured it and it came back as strep.  But, after lancing it a week later, he says it looks so much like staph.  The good news is that he is done with a 10 day treatment of antibiotics, and is healing nicely.
