Common Questions and Answers about Bactroban for cold sores

bactroban

Avatar m tn Hi, I have talked to my doctor about this whole thing going on all over my body and she reckons I have cold sores all over. Now, she has given me oral and topical antibiotics, flucloxacillin and bactroban. Can I still use my daily body lotion whilst using bactroban? I use dermaveen (extra gentle baby moisturising cream)and dream cream from lush. Both have oatmeal as the main ingredient. Thank you!
Avatar f tn I remember placing Bactroban on it which seemed to speed up the healing process, could this cold sore cream help a bacterial infection or could bactroban help a cold sore? Please help P.s the blisters come up small and then pop and crust over yellow like a weeping cut, it has only had one big blister before. I placed betadine on it and that seemed to help but so did bactroban, it also tingles before it comes up and gets itchy but NEVER hurts!
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Maybe you have to start demanding answers for your sores. I am not sure if they could be anxiety related, as I personally have not experienced that. Could it be some kind of eczema or dry skin?
Avatar m tn The results came positive to herpes simplex. Medication was directed but never taken, except for some use of Bactroban. Never had sores again but when in suspect I just use some Bactroban. Recently I contact the doctor at home due to some sores on my feet, which looks like herpes. (I have been having theese sores with some frequency during various years) I told him about the previous results and he order a blod test (type-specific serology). Results came out negative. (Index .
Avatar f tn About the same time he got the rash/condition, I got tiny cold sores inside my mouth. I feel really terible about this, because I am scared that I caused this condition for him! We have tried Bactroban ointment, and it seems to help, but I don't know if it is the right medication. Please help??
Avatar m tn Thanks for the reply. We did not get any cold sores. My wife had/has only one partner. That is me. I will do re-testing after sometimes. Thanks again.
Avatar f tn I have decided to monitor myself very closely and wait to see if the sores heal in a few days I realized last night that Bactroban might not be the best thing to be using on the sores if they are indeed a bacterial infection so I switched to OTC trip antibiotic ointment. They did not appear to improve using the bactroban but I believe they have improved slightly since i've been applying the antibiotic ointment (beginning last night) It has not gotten worse.
Avatar n tn It turned up negative for herpes and positive for staph. I was placed on antibiotics and eventually the sores healed. Well recently, the sores have been reappearing. Just to be certain, I got a blood test for herpes type 1 and 2 which were both negative. My derm put me on another round of antibiotics which helped some but the sores keep sprouting, on my legs, arms and back. I'm also using bactroban which also helps a little bit but not much? What could this be?
Avatar f tn I also have a headache and severe nasal allergies. I have had the scalp sores/bumps/scaliness for a bout 2 weekks. I also have a swollen lymph node. Any connection between the three? Could the cause of the scalp thing be allergy?
Avatar m tn I mentioned genital HSV 1, because I do not and did not have any cold sores. The only complication I had was in penis (on glands and under foreskin).
Avatar f tn She prescribed me medicine for the oral thrush and yeast infection medicine. She drew blood and took vaginal swabs for viral and bacterial infections as well as autoimmune diseases. She also referred me to a gynecologist. When I went to the gynecologist on Tuesday, May 12, so was convinced that it is genital herpes. I was incomplete shock. She also drew blood and took swabs to test. I called urgent care on May 12 after my gynecologist appointment to see if they had my test results.
Avatar m tn 9/8/2009 - Mosquito bite worse, started developing spots on hands/feet/chest/back, pediatrician diagnosed as hand/foot/mouth and not related to mosquito bite, prescribed bactroban for mosquito bite. 9/10/2009 - Heat spots leaking again, even more head spots, also more spots all over body, large blisters on feet, pediatrician recommend visit to dermatologist. 9/10/2009 - Dermatologist diagnosed as some virus in the same family as hand/foot/mouth. No testing was done, they are just guessing.

4541337 tn?1364850200 Since I have been pregnant I have been getting cold sores like crazy. Is anyone else having this problem? What do I do?
Avatar f tn So I have oral herpes. But I ever get cold sores, and I'm talking to this girl I like, and the other day when we went on a date I noticed she had a cold sore on her bottom lips that have lasted for a little over a week. It doesn't bother me too much cause I know she has the same virus I have,but it kind of makes me nervous to kiss her, I'm wondering if I kiss her while she has a real cold sore on her lip, then will I start getting cold sores?
Avatar f tn I have been suffering with cold sores for almost since I was a teenager I am 39 and still suffering with them I never brought this to my doctors attention, because I thought nothing can be done about it. I know the virus is living inside of me and everybody else who gets them, they hurt a lot yesterday morning when I woke up I already started with 3 of them on my upper lip. Do you break out with them when you are stressed? Yesterday my daughter had her 3rd hip surgery...
Avatar f tn Does anyone have a better rem. For cold sores. Had one at around 8 weeks for 3-5 weeks. Can't get anything to work. Now at 20 weeks and its taking off again. Soc ordered abreva, tired most everything I use prior to pregnancy. Nada.
Avatar f tn ve been seeing each other for about 2 months and long story short have now found out my gf does have the occasional cold sore OB. Needless to say, I'm a bit worried about what that means for me. I havent seen anything or felt anything. Shes not on antivirals and claims this has never been an issue I'm the past and that none of her partners have suffered from this either. Do I have any real reason to be worried. Internet has me a bit confused.
Avatar m tn ) I have herpes (HSV-1) since I was a child. I experience cold sores whenever my immune system weakens for some reasons (poor diet, stress, etc). The thing always appears around my lips, sometimes inside my nose (once it appeared near my eye). Unfortunately, this tends to happen at least once in two months, and it really pisses me off (excuse my bluntness). I have tried all meds I could find, but none seem to be able to prevent it well.
Avatar f tn I'm 17 weeks pregnant and Yesterday I broke out in cold sores. I haven't gotten any in over a year and usually it's just one tiny one. This time its three big ones and my lips look like I went through horrible botox!! And for the first time it kinda burns. I'm already using a topical cream from rite aid, however I'm a waitress and looking this unsightly is no bueno for business. Any remedies on making these horrible little buggers go away asap??
Avatar m tn if she also gets cold sores then her risk is much smaller but still should she notice anything in the genital area, she should be seen.
Avatar n tn Um absolutely a no no I wouldn't kiss my baby anywhere with a cold sore try using abreva for it it's over the counter I used to work in a obgyn office and the docs used to tell pts to buy over the counter first b4 they prescribed a rx. Good luck and congrats.
Avatar f tn Id see your Dr if you have swollen glands, could be something you need to be treated for like strep. There are lots of over the counter medications you can use to help the cold sore. Just go to any store and ask them.
Avatar f tn for the past 5 months on and off i have suffered from dry sores on the corners of my mouth after a while using cold sore lip cream it goes but then soon returns, its not contagious and not very painful but itchy and easy spreads and splits when i yawn !
Avatar f tn I've been plagued with constant cold sores for a couple of years. I get one every week either on my lips or in my nose. Do you think having these is affecting ttc? It's a virus so wondering if that's an issue. I'm curious for your thoughts. Thanks f.
