I had back surg.from s-1 to t-2,I would like to know what the name of the powder,or what ever is uwed to cut the chance of gettlng mrsa or ather staf, infectioh's,.down from 90 persent to less than 3 percent I under stand the larger the opening the greater the chance thank you i .
He has 2 boys from his previous marriage. The youngest has a lot of skin issues and has contracted MRSA. Since meeting my husband, we have all had bouts with boils caused by MRSA. We've tried just about everything.. and we really just deal with them now. Get on antibiotics, put the mupirocin in the nose, etc. I had a couple boils over a year ago.. then didn't have anymore for probably 10 months.. then here in the past 3 months..
FYI, most impetigo is caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Some by Streptococcus pyogenes (the same strep that causes strep throat). This kind of Staph causes boils, or crusty kinds of infections. If it becomes multi-drug resistant then they call it MRSA. But yours probably isn't MRSA. Where do you have it and is it on a large part of your body? Usually, you can use the triple antibiotic ointment on it and that will take it away.
The physician could not tell whether it was a bite, but was more concerned that it might be community-based MRSA and gave me a prescription for Mupirocin. I went to a dermatologist on Monday and again she was not sure what it was. The first lesion is nearly healed, but I've had about 3 others appear on the same arm which are healing.
Yesterday I discovered a larger lesion, which was scaly, circular with the small hole in it.
s not bad now but I would like to treat it on my own, and I still have some Mupirocin 2% topical cream left. Will this work? Again I would like to avoid the doctor again because I am an 18 year old girl and I'm very embaressed about this.... Please respond ASAP. THANK YOU.

I know this is old, but I was searching for a reason why the prednisolone my son (8, who has autoimmune encephalitis and is a carrier for MRSA) has MRSA outrbreaks from this nostrils but they do not respond to mupirocin, only prednisolone (which he takes to reduce brain inflammation and it just so happens he gets MRSA sores when his flares start). I thought it odd as well that an immune suppressant would yield such quick results in healing a bacterial infection.
The doctor said it was strep throat, and the nurse practitioner says its something called MRSA. I should get the swab results back on Monday! Everything I have read, and all the pictures I have seen, do suggest that this is MRSA after-all.. You have to tell the doctor to swab the nose because this can be a very fatal thing! They have started me on Bactrim DS oral antibiotic and a cream called mupirocin 2% ointment 22GM that you put in the nose with a q-tip..
Upon our own research we are not sure if it could be MRSA, and after 4 days of trying her prescribed Mupirocin on my rash, it seems to have increased the bumps on my hand. At this point I'm really not to sure what it could be. I can not tell if it is increased by anything specific or something that is more serious. Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
After about a week of itching I noticed that they had become a lot worse and had spread to my scrotum and my penis. The doctor labeled it as a form of mrsa and prescribed me Bactria ds 2 a day and mupirocin 2% creme. I have been using these for almost 5 days now and have seen no changes. I have also been using hydrocortisone frequently thoughout the day. The bumps are on my hands, feet, buttocks, waistline, arms, legs, and genitals. The worst bumps occur on genitals, waistline, and buttocks.
Only one site out of five have the blisters the rest is okay. It was itching and water fillied but now I am taking benedryl and using mupirocin and it is not itching any more but still water filled. It is not soar or hot but I have had mrsa in the past could it be mrsa?
The Description you gave of your Throat w/ the White Streaks, along w/ the Symptoms of Fatigue & feeling run down, as well as having a Loss of Appetite Sounds like Strep Throat or Mono, but did you have a Sore Throat or Fever at any point?? Taking Antibiotics, like Penicillin/Amoxicillin would've Helped if it was Strep, & IF it was Strep w/in 24hrs of starting Antibiotics you're no longer Confessors. I actually just learned all about Strep, bc about 1.
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.
I have also tried topical treatment like Fucidin, Mupirocin, clindamycin and gentamicin. I have tried hot compress on the scalp which gives only temporary relief of symptoms. I am also getting folliculitis of the beard area .Current symptoms include pustules all over the scalp and severe pain of the hair root area (prevents me from putting head on pillow and combing hair) .I have had 1 culture of the pustule done in India which showed that the organism was staphylococcus.
Follow the package insert. And see if they go away. Mupirocin (Bactroban) topical will also kill MRSA (I think this is prescription only). So there are lots of topicals that can kill it if you actually got it. They probably would give you an oral pill if you are not allergic to sulfa drugs Bactrim works and many other antibiotics. So try not to worry just because it could be MRSA. I think you just have pimples.
I have had multiple MRSA infections for over 2 years. The symptoms I have are cellulitis and abcesses. Ive been on oral antibiotics for 2 years, IV antibiotics several times, and have had at least 20 infections I & D. I have had them everywhere but majority of them have been under my arm. I recently had surgery under my arms for MRSA related hydranitis supprativa (sp)? Will I ever get rid of this ? Is there any cure ? all my cultures have came back positive for MRSA.
She had no sores or rash, and did not know she had the disease. Her husband was later diagnosed with MRSA..and has been told by doctors he is a MRSA carrier. I have a family member who was just diagnosed with pnuemonia...who was extremely exposed to a person who formerly had MRSA, and who was bleeding onto her..her face, nose, eyes and uppper body. I am concerned she couold have MRSA pnuemonia also..but her doctors are telling her there is no such thing...
Go while you have the infection before it drains so he can test it. There is one MRSA. Staph can be life threatening, as you will see when you read information on it.
In the mean time she was put on Cephalexin and told to use the shapmoo 2x weekly with 10 min contact time. She improved alot in a week. We then got back the results that she had MRSA and the cephalexin shouldn't be working. She was then started on Clinamycin and increase shampoo (Vet Solutions Universal medicated) to every other day. After 2 weeks there wasn't much if any improvement. Small bumps under the skin on the outside of her thighs and front legs.
Sparky, behavior issues aside, I am struggling with the thought he has MRSA and is not being treated. I have an acquaintance who had a 4 year old girl with MRSA, and the girl was hospitalized and her home quarantined until it could be disinfected.
I don't mean to ignore your concerns about his behavior, but I'm just overwhelmed that it doesn't seem he's being treated for MRSA - has he been treated yet and supposedly cleared?
Best wishes.
