Avatar f tn The ER doctor also used a gloved finger to push some of the pocketed fluid to the surface. The drainage is now brown and the pus is seen but so deep. I can literally feel the bactrim in my mouth when I apply it to the burning wound aka flattened boil but swelling is still present. After a month and 5 days, I need a real answer. I feel like I am being kept in the dark. I also started feeling pain in my next behind the boil, and feel flu like with low grade fevers from time to time.
Avatar n tn I have a question. Are drugs in the benzo family ever used to treat seizures? As in Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, Restoril, etc? I have simple partial seizures and was on xanax on an "as needed" basis to control some nervousness about going back to college. I was on it for about 2 months. I started realizing I got less of my sensory and motor seizures which have always been uncontrollable since I started getting them back in 2000.
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 n tn Hi, Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. Chronic cases are associated with Iron deficiency anemia. Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from wearing tight clothing which causes blockage of the follicle. The damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph). Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment is usually sufficient to cause a resolution.
Avatar m tn I also forgot to note that I was also put on Valtrex (used to treat genital herpes) for a couple of weeks but nothing happened. So that could be a good sign, but still some signs are still pointing to herpes.....
Avatar m tn They got better after 2 weeks but after a few days many pimples appeared all over my body. I went to a doctor again and she prescribed erythromycin and more mupirocin. Using these antibiotics helped to control the disease but never caused it to disappear completely. After finishing the treatment course the pimples quickly came back in large numbers.

Avatar f tn m allergic to Murpirocin, neosporin, bacitracin, clindamycin, metronidazole all topicals and had a syncope from a tetracycline type drug. My brother is anaphylaxic to penicillin. It sounds like you can tolerate Mupirocin but the topical isn't enough for your tissue infection. Celluitis can be pretty deep in the tissue so if it isn't working either the bacteria are resistant to it or it isn't penetrating the tissue well enough.

Avatar f tn I recently went to a park with my friend and when I got home,noticed small bumps on my thigh. I assumed they would go away soon enough and didn't bother about them too much. In the next 2 days, the bumps had grown massively to the size of ping pong balls and hurt a lot. In the middle of my ping pong bumps, was a scab and it would come often come off and release pus and blood. I googled this and the signs that matched the most was a boil. However, boils are supposed to be red and soft.
Avatar m tn So I went to the dermatologist today for clusters of tiny bumps that recently have become quite apparent on the underside of my penis. The Dermatologist looked at them for about 30 seconds told me they were not std related. However he had also told me that there was nothing they could do or prescribe to me that would help. That is unacceptable, I'm sorry for the urgency but these bumps have put my life on hold and I would really like a solution.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I had a red bump on my grown, the NP I saw thinks it's folliculitis but did not perscribe anything to treat it. I've had it for 5 days now and it does not appear to be much better, the pustule opened up yesterday but the skin underneath it still irritated and red. I'm worried about it, treating it at home with white vinegar hot compress and apply iodine. How long should this take to clear up?
Avatar f tn Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or Neosporin cream can be used. But an oral course of antibiotics after incision and drainage is also required. 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. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
1413030 tn?1281825317 well it sounds like a cold sore i get them from time to time the same color and symptoms. try to get cold sore med. like abreva or something. Hope that possibly sheds some light.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn What treatment can I use to treat a cyst in order to bring it to a head? It is so uncomforable.
Avatar f tn Im not sure but they look gross and i get disgusted even thinking about them. Please answer me with some thoughts and hopefully they are helpful. Also if you have any ways to treat them thatd be great!
Avatar n tn If it is on the skin then it can be a sebaceous cyst and small punch biopsy or wide excision may be used to treat it. If it is inside the testicle then it can be a spermatocele. Spermatocele is a retention cyst of a tubule and is benign in nature. Usually they are left as such if not causing any symptom, but if they are causing pain, then they have to be removed. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn The treatments do seem to be helping to reduce the rash (I was given Valacyclovir and Mupirocin 2% ointment to treat both) but the itching is still out of control. Has anyone here experienced an aggressive itch related to these conditions, or do you think it's more likely scabies, or possibly an allergic reaction to some sort of insect bite?
Avatar f tn I meant so say top of my back sorry, not back of neck!!
Avatar m tn soft palate sticking to throat blocking nasal passage to throat. Difficult to get supplemental oxygen to lungs with nasal cannula when blockage occured. Cpap set at level 9 unable to force air through the barrier. Pulse nasal/sinus irrigation only effective means of removing some of the blockage.
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 Doctor has diagnosed it as folliculitis. Doctor prescribed mupirocin topical to rub and Bectrim to syrup. Whoever we did not gave baby Bectrim syrup. Rashes are gone by using mupirocin topical. Any other thought folks. Baby is also suffering from Exzimia.. We apply petro-jelly to treat that.
Avatar n tn jpg Any information on what it is or how to treat it would be helpful. Is this something I should look into right away or wait to see how it develops?
Avatar f tn I have these hard white bumps in my groin area. They seem to be slowly spreading. What is causing them and how can I treat them?
