Avatar m tn You can also use medicated soaps as well for bathing. Itching of scabies persists for a few days after completion of treatment also and sometimes there may be recurrent and chronic cases which may require oral treatment of ivermectin. It is basically reserved for very severe, chronic and stubborn scabies that does not respond to conventional therapies.
Avatar f tn I'm driving myself crazy...I have a rash all over my body. Not covering my whole body, but rather scattered tiny red bumps in no particular pattern. I first noticed it about a 5-6 weeks ago, as a few tiny itchy bumps on my right arm. Didn't think much of it at first, just thought it maybe was a viral thing, since I had a 2 day bout with sore throat and swollen glands just prior to noticing it.
Avatar m tn 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?
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 I aired out my room for all three days. I was also given hydroxizyne (sp?) for the itch. Cut to 7 days later and the rash is still here, still kicking, and still driving me crazy. The medicine barely helps the itch. I literally am burning off patches from scratching of skin which is painful.I take cool/warm showers everyday before bed. The itching is not worse at night, it is worse when I am sweating or wearing restrictive clothing such as shoes and socks. Here are four photos of the rash...

Avatar f tn Hello, From the symptoms it can be due to insect bites, hives, heat rash or scabies bites if the lesions are itchy and folliculitis if they are non itchy or painless and herpes sores if they are painful open sores that tingle and scab over. Take some oral antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin if there is any itching and apply some calamine lotion on the rash. Also wear cotton clothes and apply a topical antibiotic cream like Bactroban.
Avatar f tn I saw another doctor, who said I had folliculitis, and he prescribe Bactroban(Mupirocin) for me. He also hints me the folliculitis cannot be cured completely. I have to put Bactroban on the infected part to relieve the symptom, when I found acnes symptom become more severe. Then, I put Bactroban on my face. At the first 2 days, nothing happen. I therefore put more Bactroban on.
616582 tn?1225068601 The ointment is called Bactroban (Mupirocin). So if you took the bactrim pill for your sinus infection you usually break out all over or at least on the chest. Perhaps you are allergic to the bactroban (mupirocin) ointmnet. Since you applied it locally to the penis area. Personally, I am allergic to the Bactroban (mupirocin) but not the bactrim. Let me know if you have any more quesitons.
Avatar n tn There are red spots all where he shaved and they are still here. They dont hurt him and dont normally itch. I dont know what it is. I have been checked for STD's and previous to this so did he. it couldnt be an STD. could you help me.
Avatar m tn I presented with only one sore at my cheekbone and was given clindamycin orally for 14 days and Bactroban ointment for topical use. The sore was believed to be an early indication of MRSA. I quickly developed cellulitis and swelling near, but not touching, the apparent abscess, as well as blisters in my nose. I used the mupiricin.(Bactroban) to keep the nasal blisters moist. Now diagnosed with post-herpetic neuralgia, but I still have blisters in my nose treating with Bactroban.
Avatar f tn I got a burn on my left thigh about two weeks ago and was treated for cellulitis with 500mg keflex three times a day. When I only had four pills left, I was coming down with some sort of virus, and found it impossible to stomach the antibiotics, so I stopped taking them. A few days later, I noticed that the skin around the burn was still warm to the touch (not burning hot but definitely warmer than the rest of my skin) and that I still had a low-grade fever (ranging from 99.0-99.9).
Avatar f tn I have had this thing on my face for about a year now that comes up in small blisters and then crusts over and peels off. It is located on my cheek and I recently had a test for cold sores and it came back negative, but I put cold sore cream by chemists own (aciclovir 5%) on it and that seems to work. What is it?? 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?
Avatar m tn I have been itching for 6 months my fiance has been doing the same we do not have bed bugs, fleas, or any other bug in our home. I have been taking claritin, and benedryl, they do not work. The only relief we get is soaking in baking soda and that only last for about 15 minutes. We have tried hydrocortizon cream from the doctor this does not work. Can you help us. We also can't sleep very well because of this.
Avatar f tn The red bumps are looking like they might be getting infected. I have a tube of 2% Bactroban (or Mupirocin is what it actually says) can I use this on that area to prevent further infection? How can I avoid this when shaving in the future?
Avatar m tn You need to get her into doctor as it could be MRSA but in any case it is highly contagious and she will need antibiotics for it. Try to not share towels and wash anything in contact with it in hot soapy water. Wash hands frequently. Try to keep her hands off of it.
Avatar n tn So does my boyfriend and my boyfriends 3 year old son. We have all done the treatment for scabies and it did not help at all. Then the pediatrician said impetigo. Well that isnt working either. It is very frustrating to itch all the time, worse at night and not be able to do anything about it. It doesnt get worse, per se, just pops up on different parts of the body, mainly where clothing rubs. HELP!!!!!
Avatar f tn I recently took him into the Dr and they prescribed Bactroban and said to put Eucerin lotion on it inbetween Bactroban treatments for 10 days. It does not seem to be healing up. I am not sure if it is because he bothers it and is keeping it from healing. Is there anything else I can be doing to help this cut heal and close?
Avatar m tn Typically it takes at least two weeks after infection for scabies to become symptomatic. The infection occurs and then the symptoms occur as the infected person begins to develop an immune response to fight the infection. For the same reason, it can take a week or more after treatment for scabies symptoms to improve. Humans and dogs can each have scabies but the types of scabies that humans get rarely infect dogs, just as the sort of scabies that infects dogs rarely infects humans.

Avatar f tn Is there any way for me to get rid of these mites once and for all? Went to the topix forum and nearly had a heart attack when I read about people having this for years. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Drink plenty of water and take multivitamin supplements and do not apply lipstick or other cosmetic products for some days. Use a humidifier to moisturize the air in your home and apply shea butter or Vaseline on your lips. Eat foods high in calcium, magnesium and flaxseed oil. If a week of compresses and emollients don't do the trick, you can add over-the-counter 1 percent hydrocortisone ointment to your regimen.
Avatar n tn You have told here to apply mupirocin (Bactroban®) twice daily for a week. I want to know that if application of mupirocin (Bactroban®) shows improvement but is not cured fully in one week, can I continue its application for longer period? If yes then for how long. Please give these details. I am looking forward to your reply. Regards Abhi.
