Avatar n tn Last night I noticed a dark purple spot on the right side of the head of my penis. I was very worried and went to the ER. The doctor in the ER said it was a bruised contusion hematoma (I think he said it's like a blood blister or something like that I think). He gave me this ointment - called mupirocin ointment (2%). I don't remember how often he told me to use it and how long I would need to use it before this hematoma went away. I have not started taking it yet.

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?

Avatar m tn The treatments do seem to be helping to reduce the rash (I was given Valacyclovir and Mupirocin 2% ointment to treat both) but the itching is still out of control. Has anyone here experienced an aggressive itch related to these conditions, or do you think it's more likely scabies, or possibly an allergic reaction to some sort of insect bite?
616582 tn?1225068601 Bactroban is actually mupirocin not an ointment of Bactrim. So it is a different antibiotic. If you were allergic to Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprin) I would think you would react to it all over your body if it is a pill form. A lot of people are allergic to the sulfa drug in the Bacterim. Did you have a pill or ointment? The ointment is called Bactroban (Mupirocin). So if you took the bactrim pill for your sinus infection you usually break out all over or at least on the chest.

Avatar m tn I recently noticed I have three white bumps in a row on the right side of my labia majora, it feels like a ridge to touch. There is no fluid or anything to squeeze out and I'm not experiencing discharge. More recently I've had a constant throbbing pain coming from the same side. I have an appointment for the doctor next week but I'm slightly terrified, M last smear test was a two years ago and I'm in a long term relationship.
Avatar f tn The lesions lOOK just like what I see online for impetago photos and the derm did just give me mupirocin topical so he must now be considering it possible impetago.......it might, might be improving ???? on this the third day of mupirocin but if it is it is very SLOW improvement (if any) and still some new lesions come daily. It is a blistery type rash. It does not itch but is VERY painful and bleeds or oozes clear fluid. Until they drain, the area swells which hurts a lot.
