mupirocin for scars

I have terrible scars left over on my leg from flea's we had to get rid of the dog for a while because he brought them in anyway they bit my ankles bad leaving ugly bite scars! I recently called in a old prescription for mupirocin 2% ointment. My question is if I use it as directed will it help clear up these ugly bites? Summer is coming up and I don't want my legs to look bad this summer please help and let me know if the cream will work!

If this is an antibiotic lotion, or cream, can I use it indefinitely? I have had follicullitis for years, for what I seem to find out...and I keep a very good hygiene. Will it help with the scarring on my legs? Thank you!

I get painful red itchy bumps that turn into patches of painful red itchy skin and then I itch and I get itchy scabs and dry skin then it heals and scars but it is still itchy and then it repeats. What wrong with me and how do I fix it?

I'm a female and a teenager and I am NOT sexually active in anyway possible. Ever since I was 13 [when I got my period] this large red pus looking things appeared in my groin area. They hurt sometimes and when they pop it hurts even worse. They also leave these ugly looking scars, they're also on my butt. Now, I'm a very clean and meticulous person; I shower everyday. I don't share underwear, nothing.

t hurt to touch and I leave them alone, but when they eventually go away they leave little scarlet-purple scars where they were. They take a week or two to disappear. Does anyone have any idea what they are and how to make them go away?

But i usually only get one at a time and its either right before i start my menstrual cycle or right after! I have been to the doctors for it before hundreds of times and the give me the same antibiotic cream but it never works. i was tested for MRSA and all the other good stuff, but nothing! I would like to know what they are and get a some kind of treatment for them that i can buy at any drug store under the counter! Plus i have dark scaring from where they were! can anyone help me?

Have had these sores and kinda like darkened areas around them on my my stomach for a while now. Seem a couple bumps will form and hurt like hell and some will even seep out pus or blood. Ones that have popped have created ugly scars and have depressions. I pop one once and got a bloody puss come out and there was a deep hole where the discharge fluid was. I need to know what this is and need to maybe see about taking something for it.

They irritate the heck out of me. They don't seem to leave scars and I've been putting mupirocin ointment on them. (This I got from a oyster rock cut a few years back.

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.

I estimate that since tis onset I now have about sixty scars on my body as a result. I have been to the doctor twice with now answers.

Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Also for scars after picking, various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream are useful. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.

Hello, Dermaroller is used for Stretch marks, wrinkles, scars and uneven, pitted skin. It is not used for bumps on the chest which could be due to sebaceous cysts. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I'm an 18 year old female and for about 6 years I have had many many painful lumps under my armpits and they get really big to the point that i can't really move my arms. Then they pop and puss comes out every shade from clear to white to whitish-yellow, to yellowish-green, and sometimes just plain blood. They've left many scars and the lumps never seem to fully go away. My parents have always been the suck it up type so I've never really seen a doctor about it.

When they peeled off though it left an open would that soon was covered with a yellow crust that took forever to go away. This has been a cycle going on for months, I tried mupirocin and antibiotics because doctors though it was an infection or folliculitis. Recently I had a biopsy done which revealed its inflammatory and dermatitis not an infection but nobody can tell me what from?? Doctors think it might be from an allergy to a bra fabric/chemical/dye. Anyone have a similar experience?

For about the last month, I've had these "bumps" appearing on my arms. It starts kinda like a bug bite...itchy and if you squeeze them, there is a clear liquid that comes out (kinda like a new pimple). I guess I stratch them during the night and they turn into sores that take like 3 weeks to go away. It seems to be spreading and now I'm thinking it might be some other kind of infection and not a bug bite. Anybody?

Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case. Recurrent boils are found in diabetes, HIV infection, or other immune system disorders.So pls get your blood sugar evaluated. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.

the bumps left purple scars. I do have some itching in that area but no numbness, tingling or burning sensations. Also, I have noticed that the scars will occasionally bleed. Does anyone have any suggestions of what this could be? I do have a doctor's appointment but it is not anytime soon. (I have been with the same man for over 2 years and I have mentioned this situation to him. He says that he has not noticed anything different in his genital area) Any advice would be appreciated!

First of all i have spots on my face and i'm 18 years old so i guess they are acne and they leave scars on my face.......also on my arms and back......besides black holes which i don't know how to get rid of and when i empty those they form holes on my skin......so finally i have scars and holes which really makes me look bad and outdoor activity turns me black.the sun affects my skin badly and my hands are totally a different color compared to my body.

Hi thanks for the reply. I just googled for blocked sebacious glands but what I have don't seem to be as red or noticable as anything that came up, mine are skin coloured and white/yellow if I stretch the skin. Can't get a pic up tonight and will be away over the weekend so will try to get it done by sun/mon.
