Question 1

can u put mupirocin on labia?

Accepted Answer

Yes for limited time: Yes, but i would avoid for more than 10 days. D not use inside vaginal mucosa!

Question 2

can we use mupirocin on labia majora?

Accepted Answer

Mupirocin: Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic for use on external skin infections, like staph infections.  It is likely to be ok using it on the labia.  If any irritation develops, discontinue use and see your doctor for an alternative.

Question 3

i have a painful lump that feels like and is the size of a marble on my labia. i'm positive it's not a std. i do shave. i have applied mupirocin.

Accepted Answer

See an OB/GYN: This sounds like a cyst that may require minor surgical drainage.  Mupirocin will not treat this and is not indicated for this type of lesion.

Question 4

can i use bactroban (mupirocin) on the inside of the labia minora, near the vaginal opening, to treat a bacterial infection?

Accepted Answer

You can: But what are you treating? "Bacterial infection" includes many different things. A furuncle? Bacterial vaginosis? STD? Don't expect much benefit from bactroban (mupirocin) in this area.

Question 5

can muprocin be used for a pimple i have in my labia minora. doctor gave it to me for 5 days?

Accepted Answer

: Antibiotic ointments don't usually help pimples much, but it won't hurt to give it a try. However, pimples are not common on the labia minora. Are you at risk for genital herpes? Or tested for it?

Question 6

how long can mupirocin b used safely on vulva. 10 days on it and the pimples (multiple, recurrent 8mths)healing but keep appearin in different place.

Accepted Answer

Question the cause: You should question what is causing the "pimples" before applying any treatment. Mupirocin is a very reliable and effective topical antibiotic. However, if the "pimples" are caused by a non-bacterial source, Mupirocin will not work at all. In my expericence, I would consider a viral cause such as HPV (human papilloma virus) or even Molluscum Contagious - both of which are very common and treatable

Question 7

looks like a cut/open small red sore right below vulva above anus in a portion where theres no hair growth. it looks like exposed flesh and hurts while i pee. using mupirocin ointment now. is this something serious like an sti ?

Accepted Answer

: Impossible to tell for certain from this limited information, but genital herpes is the most common and syphilis the second most common cause of genital area ulcerations (open sores). Get care ASAP:  testing must be done within a few days for accurate results, especially for herpes. Good luck.

Question 8

can i put mupirocin on my vagina?

Accepted Answer

NO: It is not made for the vagina, if you think you have an infection , you should not guess or self treat, you should see your gyn, for an exam and let him or her do a culture.

Question 9

so i got in the shower and once i was getting out my balls started burning can i put mupirocin on it will it help?

Accepted Answer

: Mupirocin might not help. Burning testicular skin usually is due to a fungal infection (jock itch), not bacteria -- and mupirocin only helps bacterial infections. Try a product for jock itch (also called tinea cruris:  look in the same pharmacy section as athletes foot products. See a doctor if that doesn't help. Good luck.

Question 10

accidentally cut myself while shaving, will mupirocin ointment usp 2% be good to use? it was bleeding out a lot, i washed it and put a bandaid on it, but should i use the ointment? if not, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: If there is a wound, you may apply triple antibiotic cream. If you were shaving your genitals, quit doing that, it is not hygienic.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
