Avatar f tn He said my skin is very healthy, I was afraid that I was allergic. The symptom(acne) is still there. 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.

Avatar n tn Hello, Without examination it is difficult confirming a diagnosis but it sounds like acne to me. Acne is due to an overactivity and plugging of the oil glands. Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day.Pat it dry and do not rub it.Avoid picking or pressing the acne.You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face.

Avatar n tn You have told here to apply mupirocin (Bactroban®) twice daily for a week.

Please give these details. I am looking forward to your reply. Regards Abhi.
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 n tn I am currently 32 years old and have recently noticed that the bumps on my scalp seem to be multiplying. I'm not sure if I should be concerned about them or not. I originally started getting the bumps on my head 8 years ago, I never really paid much attention to them. They don't seem to hurt. But in the last year, I've noticed they have spread to various parts of my head and some of them seem to be growing in size. They are hard and vary in size.
Avatar m tn Folliculitis in an infection of the hair follicles. You doctor may prescribe an antibiotic for you to treat that (if it is that) and for the acne. There are also antibiotic creams that your doctor could prescribe if he felt that would help and antifungal creams that are also antibacterial. In the meantime do not apply any harsh products on to your face and avoid any perfumed soaps and shower gels and shaving lotions. Simple soap is fairly cheap and unperfumed.

Avatar m tn I have these two pimples on the skin about 1 inch behind my scrotum. 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.

Avatar m tn Hello, Since the HIV test has come back negative after 8 mths, so chances of this rash being due to HIV is less. It can be due to folliculitis or acne keloidalais nucahe. It occurs when hairs on the back of the head and neck grow into the skin, become inflamed, and cause scar tissue. These ingrown hairs usually occur following a short haircut on the back of the head and nape of the neck.

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. Let us know if you need any other information and consult a skin specialist if the lesion is persistent. Regards.

1508709 tn?1289936565 My Dad would never go to a barber shop because he likes my Mom to cut it, but we took him to a local Barber for his birthday about three years ago, and ever since then he's had these bumps on his neck. He's tryed pretty much everything that people he knows recommend. They've got so much worse, and are always inflammed, red, and rather large. We thought it could be some type of acne, but these things are not popable.

Avatar m tn As i know that Herpes virus would be dormant for a while may be even for an year, so I again went for IgG bloodtests this week for HSVI and HSVII and the results came out negative today but i still suspect whether the blood tests are accurate or not. Coming to my questions. I should have the antibodies developed in my blood for HSVI and HSVII, if i have the Herpes in my body as its been long time since i had unprotective oral sex? Is my understanding correct?

Avatar n tn my skin is pale and it has never tanned but over the past few year i have been getting a rash on my neck that moves onto my face is i am exposed to sun for long periods. it starts off as a heat rash but then forms little white heads and resembles acne. it only seems to be on my neck and behind the ears. i have been put on antibiotics everytime when occurs and they do eventually help it but i am looking for a solution to prevent it occurring as i am going to be travelling to Australia soon.
