bactroban and boils

ve had MRSA for almost ten years now. Originally I had over 50 boils, and no doctor had a clue. I saw like a million doctors and specialists, no one had a clue. I finally diagnosed myself and forced them to culture me, and it was positive.

i have 7 boils on my vigina and the DR. put me on antibiotics and they went away and now they came back. I shave too. I didn't know if that is why i keep getting them. Can they spread? If I have sex will my partner get them.

i have not been sexually active at all.. most of the boils are small but one in particular is bid.. it is white on top and has a red base.. i have been worrying about this since a few months now.. i would like to know if i can do anything on my own to cure it or will i have to visit a doctor..?? also if u could suggest any measures and tell me what it could be, it would be of great help.. i keep that area as clean as possible but often while im out, the region gets sweaty..

These sore spots could be boils or due to viral skin infection. Wear cotton undergarments and keep the area clean. Also use mild soaps like Dove. Apply Neosporin or Bactroban cream on the red bumps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

t think it can be an STI since we are both VERY in love and VERY loyal and I have known her closely for over a year and a half. What could this be? I am worried it will infect her so I told her we arn't having intercourse untill I find out. I am stressing and I am scared to go to the doctors and get a bad answer... I also have a history of anxiety so this whole situation is causing me to freak out and I feel ashamed. Please answer quickly. P.S.

I get boils "down there" and use prescribed Bactroban Cream on them after applying a warm compress. They never get red (I catch them early) and usually go away one to two weeks of medicating. I currently have a boil that this med is not helping. I usually get the boils in the same places once or twice a year, but this is a new one and it's in a very inconvenient spot. My question/concern is...

The look like acne sized white heads. I have been working out a lot and watching my son play football for hours in the Arizona summer. Because it itched just on the pimple area I thought it was jock itch. I am worried, not sure why. I don't have insurance and frankly this is a embarassing area.

I approached to a doctor he prescribe me some antibiodic caps and Bactroban (Cream) , Thank God, Now i cured. but still my new skin is very thin and sensitive. Please advice me which soap i have to used and what precaution to be taken after intercourse (should be rinse with any antibacterial liquid). Also, please suggests me any cream to thicken my skin its very thin i am afraid during intercouse it may rub and damage. I'd appreciate you....please advice me.

my 9 year daughter gets puss boils which are very painful very frequently she has nephrotic syndrome which is treated

Like I said; red and swollen, and they are very sensitive to touch. Sometimes, if enough heat is applied, I can pop them, but they never fully do the job. When they pop by themselves, it is very painful and they leave a purple-ish colored scar. I was taken to the doctor and given silver sulfa-date, but it has done nothing.

A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with pus.Ingrown hair are the commonest causes of boils. Apply hot compresses on the boil.As long as the boil is hard,it is difficult draining it.But once it becomes soft,drainage is easy.You need to consult a doctor for its drainage or for prescription of antibiotics.

Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription.If there are recurrent boils,then pls get your blood sugar levels estimated. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.

hi, I am not a doctor ,but would advice u to stay calm and not much worry about it.as deep thinking and anxiety is one of the cause for that. Does it stay for a day/week? are these like a tiny small boils or the enlarged one? Please don'torce fully remove them as there is a chance of the infection being spread. try having Green Tea as a natural antioxidant.

ENT said I had some colonies in nose soUsed Bacrtoban for 3 days and slight pain in my nose went away per ENT. I stopped the bactroban after 3 days because I was not sleeping but I was also using Nasocort and maybe that was the culprit. Cold gone sinus not infected but having some pain that feels like a tooth ache and slight tickle or sting in nostrils when breathing. Left septum is a little enlarged.

I just searched what folliculitis and boils are and mayo clinic says its the infection of hair follicle. The thing is, these bumps are at my vestibule where no hair exists, specifically at the frenulum of labia minora. So I was suspecting these bumps to be inflamed bartholin glands some other vestibular glands, could that be a possibility? To note, they are very tiny like the head of a pin. I am sorry for asking so many questions!

ve been taking antibiotic creams, such as Bactroban, for the past two weeks, and it has been helping, but whenever an infected hair follicule heals up, it seems a blister appears, then when the blister goes away, another blister appears. If the antibiotics don't work, is there any other things i should consider? Like, laser removal or draining?

I went to the doc and recieved bactroban . The hole healed up but healed with a blister like look to it, and to me looked like a hair was still in there . I left it alone for awhile but once again messed with it and the blister drained blood and seemed like it was going to heal like a normal scar but it still healed the same with what to me looked like a hair trapped somewhere in the mess.

The small red dots can be folliculitis skin and the bumps that open and pus can be due to boils. Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. Take some over the counter pain reliever and apply topical antibiotics like Neosporin or Bactroban. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Hi, About 2 weeks ago, I had sex with a girl I have know for 3 months. Before I explain my situation, allow me to re-cap. Before we got into any sexual contact, I went to the gym that night and didn't take a shower when I got home, and then I had sex with her afterwards, didn't take a shower till I get home the next day at like 7pm.

Hello Doctor, In October i had a large single boil on the back of my arm, which drained on its own. Since then i had a smaller boil/boils crop up in my groin and anoher smaller one in armpit. I went to two different dermotologists and they both prescribed me amoxiclav and when that failed i was prescribe oxytetracline as well as hibiclens to shower with daily and bactroban ointment to put in my nasal cavity.

It sounds like a resistant staph to me. Staph aureus cause boils, furuncles, and folliculitis and other problems. Do you see any scabs or sores on your skin that have a hair growing out of them? So I wonder if you have folliculitis, which is infection of the hair follicle? It is good if you can get to the source of the infection. Yes one thing is to try to keep your body dry once you do exercise and finish sweating and cool down then shower and then dry yourself very well.

I therefore put more Bactroban on. Probably as I put too much dosage on my face, I felt the skin on my face was pickled and I can see some wrinkles on my face. 4-5 days later, ances disappeared. However, I feel my skin is not as healthy as before since that. In the past, as I have dry skin, I have no ances on my face. But right now, even though I still have dry skin, I can always find out some little ances wounded by the shaver, sometimes they are serious, sometimes not.
