bactroban mupirocin ointment over the counter

So if you took the bactrim pill for your sinus infection you usually break out all over or at least on the chest. Perhaps you are allergic to the bactroban (mupirocin) ointmnet. Since you applied it locally to the penis area. Personally, I am allergic to the Bactroban (mupirocin) but not the bactrim. Let me know if you have any more quesitons.

Also you have advised to use Mupirocin (Bactroban®). I am unsure about where to apply the Ointment. In the affected area or the Nostrils (I think you mean the affected area) Please clarify this. Also you have said to repeat that every 6 months, please tell me how long should I continue this. You have told here to apply mupirocin (Bactroban®) twice daily for a week.

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?

I slammed my thumb in a gate and the nail was bruised underneath. It began to peel while healing and now there is half a nail while the last half grows in. Should I just wait for it all to grow in and should I keep it covered? Does the moisture inhibit the healing. I cover it in case it doesn't catch on something and rip off the remaining half. should I put ointment? It doesn't hurt, just really ugly.

Will this ointment get rid of the apparent inflammation of the pores in my legs? 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!

Application of mild steroid cream like dermacort also helps.For the itching pls take some over the counter antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin.In case the symptoms persist then pls consult a dermatologist.Other possibilities have to be ruled out. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.

Hi, Mupirocin and Neosporin are available over the counter but other medicines are available only by prescription. Kind regards.

I'm currently 17 years old, I've had small, skin colored to white headed bumps in my groin area since I was 12. They haven't gotten any better or any worse since about 13. They are very numerous and appear to come from the hair follicles, the only symptom i've had besides the unsightly appearance is occasional itchiness. They feel hard and sometimes a small amount of white (pus?) comes out of them. They appear only on the penis and scrotum area and not on the surrounding skin.

Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of cheilitis and perioral dermatitis. Avoid licking the lips as saliva evaporates quickly resulting in them being drier than before. Drink plenty of water and take multivitamin supplements and do not apply lipstick or other cosmetic products for some days. Use a humidifier to moisturize the air in your home and apply shea butter or Vaseline on your lips. Eat foods high in calcium, magnesium and flaxseed oil.

You can try measures to reduce colonisation of the nose and spread (for example, by using 2% mupirocin cream or ointment applied inside the nostril 3 times per day for 5 days each month). 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.

Application of antiseptic washes may help prevent recurrences. A topical antibiotic cream, mupirocin (Bactroban®), has been effective . Let us know if you need any other information and consult a skin specialist if the lesion is persistent. Regards.

Okay, so I'm 18 years old and I"ve been dealing with this skin condition for about 4 years now. It's all over my torso, stomach, slightly on the chest, and back. It makes my skin look as if it's dirty or idk, but it has like red spots on the pores I guess? I feel like it might have something to do with perhaps having a infection on the hair follicles..Here is a picture http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y400/JimmyJones2/20130418_183315_zps62140b01.

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.

ve had this red shiny spot on the head of my penis and i have tried a cream (=Bactroban-mupirocin calcium) and basically nothing happened..i am 16 years old and from what i searched most men that have experienced this got checked for stds and nothing but some say it could be some sort of fungus..and as i keep searching for answers i get more anxious about this and i don't know what to do..

Try a cream with salicylic acid or benzol peroxide. They are strong anti-acne meds that you can get over the counter. If your pimple is cystic (doesn't have a head, won't pop) you may need oral medication. But try the other suggestions first!

He prescribed me 100mg minocycline hydrocholride, 3x/day for ten days, plus bactroban cream. He said the hair could grow out and the body may absorb the cyst or I may need it cut and removed. Thoughts? Thanks again.

Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case. 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.

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.

Reading some of the posts regarding the same problem, i applied bactroban ointment and it helps a little bit, there's no pain or itch actually , it could be folliculitis indeed , but theres a few more remaining but much smaller than the usual, is there any antibioitc i could take orally to speed up the medication and also what kind of anti-microbial soap you may recommend , thank you so much for the response.

You can treat it with antiseptic washes combined with topical antibiotics like Bactroban(Mupirocin). You can apply the ointment on the bumps, thrice a day for a week. You could also apply warm compresses to hasten the resolution. Benzoyl peroxide ointment can also be tried, which is used to treat acne lesions.

I get the same so called folliculitis on my neck and it *****! I apply bactroban on the infected area once or twice a week and it solves the issue every time. Have him see a dermatologist and ask for bactroban or munipriocinit will save his life!!

The results of the cultures came back last week and I apparently had a minor staph infection in my nose, so she prescribed Bactroban Nasal. I had to squeeze half of a small tube of the ointment into each nostril twice a day for 5 days. I finished the prescription a few days ago but my lips look the same! WHAT IS IT? And why won't it go away?! I am embarrassed and just cannot take it anymore. Please help.

Also wear cotton clothes and apply a topical antibiotic cream like Bactroban. If the symptoms are worse then get other possibilities ruled out. 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.

My wife took small tweezers and as gently as possible, removed it and other small hairs that had bundled up in one small sore place. It seems to be healing but is very sore and irritatewd. What over the counter medications would work best to help with healing this up? I don't believe it is but mildly infected.
