Common Questions and Answers about Bactroban ointment over the counter

bactroban

Avatar f tn 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.

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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 4. If it is folliculitis, is it transferable to a sexual partner?
Avatar m tn Two nights ago, I went to bed and felt some pain in my leg, in the crease of my right knee. I woke up the next morning to find a rash there. I have absolutely no idea how it developed. I went to an urgent care facility and had it looked at, and was prescribed doxycycline and bactroban ointment. I've been taking both, as well as soaking it in Epsom Salt and warm water, but it has gotten worse. It very painful.
1418633 tn?1314546745 Bill is right - Atarax/Vistaril/Hyrdroxyzine works wonders with the itching, but you need a prescription for it. Another over the counter med is Benadryl - readily available over here but not sure in India. In another thread some of us had commented on applying ice packs/cool towels which help in a pinch. Hope is subsides soon because it's really bothersome.
Avatar m tn I did it but I think I overdid it. Although the spots were on the underside, I used to apply it all over my penis. After a week, I felt slight burning and itching on folds of shaft skin (I'm circumcised). I stopped applying it on that part. The white spots appears to be gone, but I have serious irritation on the folds of shaft skin. I tried to stay at home, ventilate it being naked in front of a fan and used baby powder for a couple of days.
Avatar f tn Hi, How is your son? Any cut or wound undergoes wound repair, the body's natural process of regenerating dermal and epidermal tissue. This may take a few days depending on the extent of the wound. In your son's case, continue cleaning and applying the topical antibiotic as prescribed. Try to apply the ointment during sleep to avoid him from bothering it. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar m tn 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.
1102290 tn?1278499953 In addition, I would try to get an oral prescription antihistamine. Some people use over the counter Benadryl and over the counter steroid cream but they did nothing for me and my rash, just were not strong enough. Over the counter steroids creams and over the counter antihistamines were useless for me, totally useless. They did nothing. My treatment team was useless and dragged their feet doing nothing until the rash was really pretty bad and I demanded they do something.

Avatar f tn Anyone have experience with any over the counter depression medicine that works well?
Avatar f tn Thanks for replying. I used the Bactroban this evening. Should I just put it on once a day? How long should I wait before going to my doctor. I just shaved yesterday morning and the raised red bumps started about 12 hours later. Now they're itchy and also really painful. Thanks for your help.
Avatar f tn i took him in to the emergency room and the Dr. prescrived bactroban in cream and told me to wash it regularly and said that by the next day it should be better. but its been 2 days since then and i been following the orders but i do not see it getting better, on the contrare it seems to be getting worse.. and how long does it take until it goes back to normal? he's not complaining of pain only when i apply the ointment.
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar m tn ENT said I had some colonies in nose soUsed Bacrtoban for 3 days and slight pain in my nose went away per ENT. I stopped the bactroban after 3 days because I was not sleeping but I was also using Nasocort and maybe that was the culprit. Cold gone sinus not infected but having some pain that feels like a tooth ache and slight tickle or sting in nostrils when breathing. Left septum is a little enlarged.
Avatar n tn 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 antifungals may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.

5123318 tn?1417395836 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.
Avatar f tn I'd also stop with the hibiclens and antibiotic ointment too - they can be very irritating to the delicate genital skin.
Avatar n tn I used it for 3-4 days and the irritation aggravated and i could see inflamation in new areas on the penis head. Then I went to my GP and he changed the cream to Bactroban. I used it for 3 days and over these 3 days, my skin became red and there was irritation all over the Penis head. The GP asked me to stop both the medicines and he is of opinion that, I may have a reaction of bactroban and has developed into a fungal infection.
