Avatar f tn Accidentally, I sprayed mupirocin/Dextamethasone 5GM/45ML/0.1%, a compounded nasal preparation, in my eye. I rinsed the eye with water for about one minute. Eye has had 5 retina surgeries, has band kerapothy, and no lens. PCC told me it's ok because the mupirocin is also used for eye preparations. Correct?

Avatar m tn I was prescribed Mupirocin for a non-healing nasal ulcer. I used it for about 2 days then woke up with a bad headache today from the get go. I've tried everything I can. I have taken Tylenol TWICE, Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen in it, nasal spray, a Breathe Right nasal strip (since I do have severe sinus problems.) NOTHING has worked or given any relief.
Avatar m tn I have used a 2% salicylic acid as a face wash each morning for a week, and the cluster is still there.. Its starting to bother me because its starting to be visible because the cluster seems so large, in fact even the 2 pimples left a mark after they were gone..
Avatar m tn s just like what it used to be. Do you have any idea what I should do now?Do you have any suggestions for antibiotics? Is there anything or any test that I should take? By the way I don't have diabetes or any kind of STD.
Avatar n tn I try Aquaphor Baby is a body wash unscented, and Aquaphor diaper rash since I used their Healing oitment for dry skin from Eucerin other brand made from them too.
Avatar m tn In addition, please don’t use any cosmetics on the penis, instead use some topical antimicrobials like Mupirocin .Also corticosteroids and topical immunosuppressants can be used but they are available under prescription. You can however use the antifungal+steroid cream that you have. Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin.
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 m tn Hello everyone, I've had a redness on my cheek for over a month now. It was originally identified as staph and treated with Mupirocin and Clobetasol by my Dr. Unfortunately 2 weeks of use has done nothing. I haven't been able to see her again so I figured I'd post here. I have a feeling this could be fungal, but am not sure. As you can see in the pic, it is a red irritation and slightly raised. It has shown only minor response to both clobetasol and mupirocin.
Avatar n tn You have told here to apply mupirocin (Bactroban®) twice daily for a week. I want to know that if application of mupirocin (Bactroban®) shows improvement but is not cured fully in one week, can I continue its application for longer period? If yes then for how long. Please give these details. I am looking forward to your reply. Regards Abhi.
Avatar f tn I had severe pain on touching , redness along with burn marks on my calf area.i used mupirocin ointment at night . Now iam struggling with itching on affected area.
Avatar m tn I've been suffering with redness and sometimes burning and itchiness between my butt cheeks for well over a year. I've seen a couple of doctors about it. I am mostly able to keep the irritation down with hydrocortisone 1%. The first doctor (my PCP) did a swab and determined bacteria growth and prescribed me Mupirocin 2% topical ointment. The redness did go down but not completely away.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your response. Will I be able to get mupirocin over the counter? Since I don't have ins, can't go to the doctor. Thanks.
Avatar m tn Hello, You should not tear open the scars and just apply some mupirocin cream followed by creams containing vitamin E for the scarring. The white scar could be due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. 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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar m tn Thank you for been paitent.Taking bath at a motel felt a needle stick to my bare foot which was hurting the toe for 3 days. Couldn't find the needle in the bath area immediately and the water was running.the motel owner tell me the room was not rented for 6 days. But I could safely assume 8 hours since the area was bad and he was renting based on hours. The incident happened at 10 AMin the morning when I checked in.
Avatar m tn Then he prescribed Doxycyline Hylcate pills which are used for staph infections. It got rid of the the bumps for a few months like the Mupirocin, but they came back a week ago. My doctor has said the previous tests may have been false negatives since we may not have caught it early enough. I really don't if it is Herpes or a Staph infection. Can anyone assist?
Avatar m tn But, I thought I applied mupirocin onto my face because of a minor injury. So I am wondering if mupirocin could affect my test result and made it false-negative?
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn I think what I have is called mupirocin. Is there any medication you recomend.
Avatar m tn i have itching on the anterior side of scrotum . i can send you the pictures if you want for deep examination.
Avatar f tn i used a condom that contained benzocaine and since then i had infection on my glans. it was usually swollen and sometimes red. twice the skin on the glans had peeled off also. and my foreskin was bruised and then it became ok. i thgt tht this was because of the infection and now everything is ok. but the redness and swelling still persists. finally i consulted a doctor and he said it was Balinitis. he gave me ointment and 6 different medicines for 20 days. still the infection is not gone.
Avatar f tn Back in August I had a lesion in the same spot and tested negative. They gave me a shot and mupirocin to put on sore along with pills to take and it Went away just fine.. this time I did not get a shot but I did get mupirocin and a different set of pills but lesion is still there after almost two weeks.. any way that this is not herpes . At since I tested negative months ago for all std and tested negative again last week.
Avatar n tn He gave me a steroid (nebulized) to decrease the internal swelling and I am about to start trying mupirocin (nebulized) for 3 weeks to see if that helps. I do have my doubts if this will work (mupirocin precisely). I have "klebsiella ozaenea" infection and I was under the impression mupirocin is effective on gram positive bacteria and the Ozaenea is a gram negative bacteria. I wanted to ask if any doctors on here can tell me if this is a good try.
Avatar m tn Sometime within the next week, I recall one instance of my scrotum being very itchy. Later that week (August 7th) I left for a vacation which included bathing in the ocean, lounging in a wet swimsuit, sweating in wet swimsuit, etc. By the 10th or 11th I noticed the bumps in my groin were gone and now looked like 4 ulcers, two one each side of my groin crease symmetrical to each other. I also noticed maybe 5 small ulcers on the left side of my scrotum.
Avatar m tn ve been using a hair removal cream, called Magic Shave (a hair removal cream for men, which is mainly used for men who deserve to shave their heads without getting razor bumps), to remove hair from my pubic region and my butt, and it hasn't given me any problems until a few months ago, when I began having penis problems, after I was bit during oral sex. Recently, I used the cream on my testicles, and the product greatly irritated my skin there.
