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.
Avatar n tn indeed a few days before the spots appeared i had eaten a basketful of the hotest hot wings Buffalo wild wings makes and was left stranded for a good while by my waitress with out napkins or drink lol. so leave it to me to be a hypocondract (suck at spelling i know) so ill keep posted if this turns out to be correct.
Avatar m tn You need to check what is causing this. If antibiotics have not worked then there is a chance that this is caused by yeast and this would need to be checked and confirmed. If it is caused by Malasezzia Pityrosporum yeast then antibiotics will be of no use and may even make it worse. Bacteria and yeasts compete for space on your skin so if you are killing the bacteria with antibiotics then the yeast is able to grow with even more ease.
Avatar f tn s helping on some of them but not all. Has anyone else had these and what is it? How can I get rid of these w/o going to a doctor?
Avatar f tn I have this rash on my neck. It started as a painful boil that never came to the surface. Now I have small bumps under the skin that feel like little balls if you squeeze them. The surface is red and bumpy. My doctor prescribed Mupirocin, but it isn't doing anything. It has been about 2 months since it first started.

Avatar m tn So I've had what I thought was balanitis on and off on my penis for years. But no fungal cream ever worked. The only cream that worked was Mupirocin 2% - fast forward today, I was masturbating and its always triggered by friction and this thing came back. However it seems like I was too late in the getting the cream this time because whatever infection is happening isn't going down. Here are my symptoms below...
Avatar m tn Originally thought oral herpes, but since the pimple does not tingle before it appears or because it is not on the lip, I am not sure. A little nervous, but just looking for any hint of an answer!! Thanks!
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 f tn Well she had a surgery about 6 months ago and we received mupirocin ointment for it. I was curious to find out if the mupirocin ointment would have any affect on her sores? I know it's to fight infection and bacterial growth but I was hoping it would alleviate her pain and sooth her raw hot spot. Thanks in advance!
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 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 m tn The question to be answered is, Is this just colonization, the cause of the thick mucous or is it actually an invasive infection. If what you have is just colonization, it might not be necessary to eradicate the Klebsiella and, as this organism is typically resistant to multiple antibiotics, perhaps impossible.

Avatar m tn A mild soap or soap substitute, such as Dove or Cetaphil should be used for washing. Scrubbing should be avoided.

Avatar m tn s what you have, for at least a few reasons. First, the location of lesion is wrong. HSV infections usually don't take unless the virus is massaged into the exposed tissues -- for which reason initial herpes lesions usually occur at the sites of maximum friction during sex. That is, the penis in men, vaginal opening and labia minor in women, or the anus if exposed -- and generally not the scrotum, groin, labia major, etc.
Avatar f tn Mupirocin is the same as Bactroban. It is a nasal compound that my ENT has mixed for sinus infections. The eye is sore today. I have little vision in the eye. However, its pressure has risen, in the last few months, from from about 0 to fifteen. I will call my retinologist. Thank you.
