Mupirocin to treat acne
Common Questions and Answers about Mupirocin to treat acne
bactroban
I continue to experience cyst-like ingrown hairs on my inner thighs, even in the absence of hair removal procedures. It looks similar to cystic acne, though not as painful (except to look at). What are the best ways to prevent ingrown hairs? And, what can I do to treat ingrown hairs when I do get them??
Thanks in advance.
How long should it take to know if the mupirocin is working? I have lots of trouble with oral antibiotics, including anaphalaxis so I was not given any at this time. but I am worried the topical is not enough. Other topical antibiotics have seemed to make it worse, as do steroid creams, antifungals and other topicals such as tazorac, rosacea meds, protopic, ivermectin, apple cider vinegar, hydrogen peroxide etc etc. I have tried anything and everything possible to cure this to no avail.
I started to have a painful bump between my eyebrows and the acne seem to multiply a bit with a lot of visible white heads that could be easily scratched off.
I still haven't tried the mupirocin... but considering the no reaction after 5 days to the benzoyl peroxide, salicyclic acid and the antibacterial wash should I continue with the treatment and apply mupirocin/neomycin?
Impetigo is not serious, often goes away on its own, and is easy to treat. Mild cases can be handled by gentle cleansing, removing crusts, and applying the prescription-strength antibiotic ointment mupirocin (Bactroban).
An allergy like Contact dermatitis can also produce vesicular lesions at the point of contact. Contact dermatitis is caused by exposure to a material to which the person has become hypersensitive or allergic.
i dont know what this is so i put the topic as acne but i have little red dots above my eye lid and below my eyebrow. it doesnt hurt and the arent bumpy but i dont like it and it scares me!!
Hi Doctor, about 10 days ago I shaved my pubic area with an electric trimmer. Admittedly, it wasn't completely sanitized, as I had previously used it for my face/beard. I showered immediately afterwards. In ensuing days, I noticed an increased amount of red spots around the area I shaved. (I've had a few of them in the past, but always thought they were simply acne.) It wasn't until the past week that I suspected some type of infection.
m wondering if there is any possible way that the pubic pimples are a side effect to the birth control? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, any remedies to get rid of the pain and the pimples would be helpful!
rarely one will swell and it seems logical to pop it (although probably not at all sensible) and it appears to be a white pus similar to that in acne, but i dont think its acne because the white bumps dont come and go like acne does. please leave some suggestions. also how can this be treated?
thanks.
Hello,
From 6 years white pimples started appearing on my testis, some of these pimples get inflamed till they are popped.
Some few of them now remained and became white and solid.
I didn't made any sexual relationship before...Is it related to sensitivity any can be removed without any surgery?
I have put some over the counter acne medicine on my chest to see if it was pimples I put Clearasil stayclear on which is a white medication that is over the counter and it really dries out the skin. It sort of seems to be working on the top of my chest. It is also in the middle of my breasts and on my breast I am not sure if it is acne or not. They are red/pink bumps with some white heads on it. Could it be because it is hot and summer time and I am getting more acne then usual?
I have, what I can only describe as acne which is confined to my scalp. I am troubled by lots of spots and pimples, some have yellow puss in, some are just red spots. All are very sore to the touch. The main area of outbreak is a band across the back of my scalp from temple to temple, the sort of area where a hat band would contact your head. The spots are constantly appearing but I have periods of more severs outbreak. I have oily hair which I have to wash every day with baby shampoo.
I've had these bumps, maybe acne, on my butt for most of my life......what is the cause of these bumps? I also have rosacea. How do I treat this problem or cure it? Is it a dietary issue? Should I see a specialist?
This time she gave me low amount of vitamin e cream and sensitive cream for me to apply on my face. Few days later, I noticed there is a bigger pore due to the acne extraction. Also my left and right cheek became inflamed and flaky. Am I being cheated by them? Should I go back to ask for clarification? Or go to see dermatologist?
Hi, I am in my early 30's and I have been on 80mg Prozac to treat OCD for several years now.
I work in Cosmetics/Skincare and I have a long-running pimple picking problem. It started when I was 13 in the bathroom, where I would lock myself in for hours and try to squeeze the life out of pimples that both existed and didn't exist. My habit was exacerbated in college by watching my roommate with acne issues do extractions on a regular basis with an extractor tool.
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. i wear factor 50 and have tried different makes but they don't seem to help. i have been told by one doctor that it is a hair folical infection called follicutis but i am convinced it has something to do with the sun cause it appears even i am in the sun for an hour or two.
There are at least seven bright red swollen sore spots. With pressure they ooze bloody serous type secretion. I have put all kinds of acne meds on them, but they've been there for over a month. I'm way too old to be having this kind of thing.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to folliculitis, acne of the chest or polymorphous light eruption. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. 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.
(theres about 16 little pimples in a clustered area mid-thigh)
i have no bumps or pimples or anything out of sorts in my vagina area, and i am prone to have body acne and acne on my face and tend to have sensitive skin.
could this be by letting the contact of her fluids dried out and my skin cause irritation-- or something else?
itching rash on face,chest,and back that looks like acne. i have been to dermotolgist and he said it was sensitive skin or allergic to uv rays. i have tried triamcinolone acetonide cream that the doctor prescribed and only helps alittle on itching. this has been going on for a year now. any suggestions?
Not really sure where to post this because its like a rash but acne at the same time. It has lasted for about 10 months and I take protopic and it seems to help and Triamcinolone works but as soon as I stop using them it comes back in just a couple days. I just want a cure for this because medications help but it just keeps coming back. As you can see, it is just a group of small bumps acne like, they are not painful and they just show up almost overnight and are somewhat bright red.
