Bactroban nasal ointment
Common Questions and Answers about Bactroban nasal ointment
bactroban
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.
The doctor did say I have angular cheilitis on my lips, he gave me an ointment, called Bactroban and an oral antibiotic but he said not to fill the antibiotic unless I really needed it, if the corners of my mouth became red and have pus coming out. So right now I am using the Bactroban ointment hoping that it is helping my lips. They still aren't healed yet, but hopefully it will heal. I did ask him what I can do so that I don't get this again, he just said to drink plenty of water.
The results of the cultures came back last week and I apparently had a minor staph infection in my nose, so she prescribed Bactroban Nasal. I had to squeeze half of a small tube of the ointment into each nostril twice a day for 5 days. I finished the prescription a few days ago but my lips look the same! WHAT IS IT? And why won't it go away?! I am embarrassed and just cannot take it anymore. Please help.
My 3 year old son has had a small cut under his earlobe where it connects with his face. 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?
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?
i took him in to the emergency room and the Dr. prescrived bactroban in cream and told me to wash it regularly and said that by the next day it should be better. but its been 2 days since then and i been following the orders but i do not see it getting better, on the contrare it seems to be getting worse.. and how long does it take until it goes back to normal? he's not complaining of pain only when i apply the ointment.
Also you have advised to use Mupirocin (Bactroban®). I am unsure about where to apply the Ointment. In the affected area or the Nostrils (I think you mean the affected area) Please clarify this. Also you have said to repeat that every 6 months, please tell me how long should I continue this. You have told here to apply mupirocin (Bactroban®) twice daily for a week.

The variety of strains, and treatments though are what I am not fully sure of. Currently I got a prescrition for Bactroban ointment. Per my request to my doctor, I don't know if it will work or not. But I know Bacitracin Ointment should NEVER be used on wounds with staph in them, as that is the type of stuff the staph is resisting and learning how to resist.
I went to an urgent care facility and had it looked at, and was prescribed doxycycline and bactroban ointment. I've been taking both, as well as soaking it in Epsom Salt and warm water, but it has gotten worse. It very painful. I've attached a picture of what it looks like, I'm going to see if I can attach one of what it looked like yesterday. Should I go to the ER to have this looked at?
I was recently diagnosed with darier's disease and was given a ointment to use on the rash, the ointment is working however my question is this. Is there any cure to this disease or any way to make the rash permanently disappear/dormant?
A topical antibiotic cream, mupirocin (Bactroban®), has been effective at reducing bacterial colonization in the nostrils. It is applied twice daily for a week and is repeated every 6 months. After the lesions have healed you could try waxing.
Let us know if you need any other information and consult a skin specialist if the lesion is persistent.

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.
Since then the boils have slowed down but when one goes another seems to crop up (around my perineal region), even with the treatment.
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.
Four days later I went to the Doctor and she gave me an ointment called Bactroban and an antibiotic called Enhancin and I bathe it in warm salt water. Now, its hardly visible but the doctor is still unsure of what it was.

Reading some of the posts regarding the same problem, i applied bactroban ointment and it helps a little bit, there's no pain or itch actually , it could be folliculitis indeed , but theres a few more remaining but much smaller than the usual, is there any antibioitc i could take orally to speed up the medication and also what kind of anti-microbial soap you may recommend , thank you so much for the response.
Hi Peedz,
Can you please let us know, whether this running nose is of a short duration? Is there any sneezing? Or any allergic symptoms associated with it?
In the first instance, if you have used Otrivin nasal drops for more than 5 days, please do stop it. U can use saline nasal drops to relive the nasal congestion.
Do not blow the nose forcefully or try to clear the throat forcefully, because there might be submucosal bleeding.
I do not know how far the aqueous ointment will help???
Google something like 'nosebleeds and congestive heart failure.' You bet there is a connection! Nosebleeds can be one of the early signs of CHF, so basically, if you have congestive heart failure, you are at risk for nosebleeds.
So, you have treat the CHF, which is difficult and often involves drugs or therapies that are likely to make the nosebleeds worse, things like aspirin, warfarin (anti-clot meds). If liver function is bad, nosebleeds are a consequence, too.
