616582 tn?1225068601 My doctor put me on Bactrim for a sinus infection. I have had a slight reaction to it in the past. A couple hours after taking it I started getting a really bad itch on my penis. The skin under the helmet also swelled way up and it hurts a bit. I've taken Bactrim about 5 days now and the skin directly under the lip of the helmet has been peeling and is really sore. My doc says I'm not alleric to Bactrim and this is a coincidence but I'm not sure.
Avatar m tn I do not think I described by situation to him adequately. I am very sensitive to drugs and I over react to possible side effects. I am not taking and do not take any medications but I was wondering about the Bactraban. The pain is about a 2 or 3 on a 10 scale but enough to keep me up most of the night. I have been to three doctors and a dentist in the past week and I am not clear about what to do. I am going to call again on Monday but I think they will see this as a nuisance.
Avatar f tn This is where Soriatane and other retinoids play a part but be warned that they have a lot of side effects and some serious depending on your age. I hope this information helps and if you would like to know more feel free to leave your email and I'll contact you with some links to check out if you wish.
Avatar f tn 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.
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 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?
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 f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn If the repair is going naturally and perfectly your nail will get back, keep it open and apply antibiotic ointment like neosporin or bactroban (mupirocin). If there are any signs of infection then follow up with a physician. Take care!

Avatar f tn I picked at them at first, then poked them with a needle and applied antibiotic ointment. The ones on one cheek went away after about 2-3 weeks, the others on the opposite side remained as bumps, I picked them again and they bled and remained, finally I started putting bactroban on them and the bumps went away, but now there are tiny scars where they were, the ones that scarred were there for 5-6 weeks. Again, they were not painful or itchy untill I stabbed them with a needle.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn I have a sore on my tongue that's been there awhile. The ear nose & throat doctor said it is irritation & hard to heal. I'm taking Lysine tablets 500 mg 3xs daily. Just started .I have seen L-Lysine ointment by basic organics. People use it for core sores & ulcers on the inside of lip. Would it be safe to dab a small amount on my tongue to help battle this condition faster. It is painful & very frustrating.
Avatar n tn 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. Regards.
Avatar n tn 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. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/245806'>IgG vs IgM Question</a>.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar n tn I went to the doctor a week ago, and she seemed to think they were bacterial and gave me a prescription for Augmentin and Bactroban ointment. They have slowly started to look better, but today I noticed they had a bulleyes appearance. Do you think this could be Lyme disease?
Avatar n tn he was tested for STDs before he entered so he is clear from that. i have Bactroban cream i was thinking of sending him, is that a good idea?
196674 tn?1306502156 I am not sure if this was from a bug bite, a rash, or a skin infection. About 5 days ago two spots on my right leg started itching a lot, and from the picture links below you can see they have gotten real big. I thought it might be a bite from some type of bug at first, but now I just don't know because of the size they have grown to.
Avatar n tn Moisturizers should be reapplied liberally during the day. You can also use a topical cortisone (steroid) cream or ointment like dermacort(hydrocortisone). Adding a humidifier to the central heating system of your home or using a humidifier also helps. If still the symptoms persist then possibility of eczema or atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis need to be ruled out. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
