Common Questions and Answers about Is bactroban the same as bacitracin

bactroban

Avatar f tn They never get red (I catch them early) and usually go away one to two weeks of medicating. I currently have a boil that this med is not helping. I usually get the boils in the same places once or twice a year, but this is a new one and it's in a very inconvenient spot. My question/concern is... would it be better to let them come to a head and pop on their own or to keep using the medicine and keep them from ever maturing?
Avatar n tn But I know Bacitracin Ointment should NEVER be used on wounds with staph in them, as that is the type of stuff the staph is resisting and learning how to resist. I am pretty sure thats what happened to me, I think I had empetigo (another form of staph infection) and I used bacitracin on them sometimes, they NEVER seemed to heal. I used a lot of old MAKE UP and COVER UPs that probably contained bacteria as well, so my outbreaks were on-going. I just leaned that.
Avatar n tn I am circumcised. There is also a slight and small redish area just under the glans/head of the penis which was itchy. There was also a purplish area that feels a little sore on the bottom edge of the head. I got married 8 months back. It has been repeated fourth time in 1 year period. One time appeared before marriage and three times after marriage, all times in the mouth as well. Boils are not appearing on every intercourse. Whenever they are appearing, I noticed on next day of intercourse.
Avatar n tn Hi, my boyfriend recently got diagnosed with balanitis. I'm now concerned with our sexual activities as I'm afraid that it's contagious. Is it contagious? And if it is, what's the best precaution. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I am uninsured, so a dermatology appointment is out of the question for the time being. Please help me before my skin is permanently damaged and scarred from all the chapping. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I am not taking and do not take any medications but I was wondering about the Bactraban. The pain is about a 2 or 3 on a 10 scale but enough to keep me up most of the night. I have been to three doctors and a dentist in the past week and I am not clear about what to do. I am going to call again on Monday but I think they will see this as a nuisance. I am a caregiver for my wife and I cannot afford to be missing sleep and being sick.
616582 tn?1225068601 My doctor put me on Bactrim for a sinus infection. I have had a slight reaction to it in the past. A couple hours after taking it I started getting a really bad itch on my penis. The skin under the helmet also swelled way up and it hurts a bit. I've taken Bactrim about 5 days now and the skin directly under the lip of the helmet has been peeling and is really sore. My doc says I'm not alleric to Bactrim and this is a coincidence but I'm not sure.
Avatar m tn I use dermaveen (extra gentle baby moisturising cream)and dream cream from lush. Both have oatmeal as the main ingredient. Thank you!
1666982 tn?1445198395 How often do you apply bactroban? And do you also apply it into your nostrils? I also have the same problem.
Avatar n tn Bactroban is awesome. 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!!
Avatar f tn Five days later cultured again and it came back negative. Said I should use Bacitracin for a year as Bactroban burned and dismissed me.(I am allergic to all antibiotics but two and most other drugs-happens over time) 2nd ENT said Bacitracin irritates and easy to get allergic to it. Already allergic to Neosporin. She said my nose is extremely dry causing the scabs, crusting and rawness. Even feels sore down the back of my nose into the throat area now.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your reply. Its very weird because when i was creating the post i had the pain, and right now as im typing this response I dont have it. So it come and goes and I only hope that its not serious. I think i will give it until next week, and if i dont see an improvement i will visit the MD. I want to ask you about bacitracin if i may. You see, i have a staph infection in my right eye that is causing me an acute blepharitis.
Avatar f tn I do not know what is the mater with my skin? Do I have folliculitis or Sycosis? Or the overdosed Bactroban make my skin like that? Or any other problems? Could you please kindly tell me how to cure it? Many thanks. I appreciate your helps a lot.
Avatar f tn Also, oxy is more soluble and I believe it is a first pass metabolite, meaning it crosses the blood brain barrier after one pass thru the liver, where hydro is metabolized twice by the liver before becoming active. Oxy is much more powerfull than hydro per milligram and has a meaner withdrawel too.
1569985 tn?1328247482 I have taken Phythmol for yrs and all I can say Is I didn't have to start it in a hospital and it is in the same class as Flecainide but i really don't think it is as strong a drug. It helped me stay out of arrhythmia but like all the rest, it eventually becomes pro-arrhythmic and will actually bring on episodes....it may be months...it may be years...but it will happen.
Avatar n tn I don't know if this falls under dermatology, but: my partner has these lumps that have begun to form on the back of her head. She is 25 years old. One is oblong, about half the size of a thumb, and doesn't protrude so much as it lies flat on the head. Another is smaller and has grown within the last week. They don't hurt and they're the same color as the color of her scalp. They're hard, not soft, and they don't really move around when you touch them.
Avatar m tn By the way i have acne all over my body from my childhood which is very mild nowadays, i read regarding folliculitis and some how i feel i am close to it. As the blisters were formed where the skin might have rubbed with underwear. Would you suggest any medication for me. I got the below medication from site, do u suggest to use them. Cleansing Solution: Hydrogen Peroxide Ointment or Cream: bacitracin, polymyxin B sulfate (Polysporin), clindamycin, erythromycin, or mupirocin (Bactroban).
Avatar n tn There is also too much itching on the skin in the adjoining areas and sometimes I just scrape up the blisters while itching. On doing so, clear blood is discharged out of the wound and pink skin is exposed in the place. I have been applying Miconazole Ointment, on the affected area, with little effect. I have only had sex with ONE girl few times, That was More than a year ago.
Avatar m tn I quickly developed cellulitis and swelling near, but not touching, the apparent abscess, as well as blisters in my nose. I used the mupiricin.(Bactroban) to keep the nasal blisters moist. Now diagnosed with post-herpetic neuralgia, but I still have blisters in my nose treating with Bactroban. The original sore that was on my cheek never dried out, instead shrinking from the Bactroban.
Avatar n tn I am going to seek medical attention, but am slightly hesitant, because all I can think of is that it is herpes or another STD, which I believe my paranoia may in the long run make myself believe that the condition is worse that what it really is.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I am having a lot of side effects from the Vigamox (irritation, watery eye, itcy, pain etc. and very red eye). But that is not the biggest problem. I tried the Bacitracin for two nights. Last night I up and saw that my eye was very swollen. I called the on call doctor since it is the weekend and she said she can't write me any new prescriptions because she is not my doctor and said to just use GenTeal ointment (petrolatum) at night.
