i have some bumps on glans near shaft of penis. burns at times. noticed it about a month  ago. developed painful urination but a z-pack helped. been using mupirocin.  no sexual activity before or during times i noticed bumps.  no other symptoms. ?

Accepted Answer

Need an exam: to evaluate for infection possibly causing the bumps and other symptoms.

Question 2

can i use t-bact for back acne?

Accepted Answer

Not the best idea: ask pharmacist for 5% benzoyl peroxide cream or gel. t-bact is used for skin infections.

Question 3

pimple on mons pubis after few days of shaving i have been applying t bact ointment will it go and how can i prevent pimple bumps on vagina ?

Accepted Answer

: A common issue.
Suggest using CLN soap as cleanser and applying the antibacterial preparation immediately post shave , plus 2 x a day for 3-4 days after the shave

Question 4

can bactroban (mupirocin) cause rash on buttocks-i have scant mrsa perianal area. on doxycycline- also using bact waiting for 2nd culture to rule out yeast/fungus?

Accepted Answer

Contact allergy: Rarely people can develop a contact allergy to bactroban, (mupirocin) but it is seen more commonly with neosporin based creams. Your doctor can prescribe another topical antibiotic if needed.

Question 5

hi my son was playing on the floor and i believe he got a rug burn on his chin. i have neosporin i also have mupirocin ointment 2%. what is better?

Accepted Answer

Either one: Either of these should be fine.  Just be sure to clean the area daily with a mild soap and water.

Question 6

i just recently got mupirocin prescribed for an chemical burn i had on my acne ive tried using so much and nothing has helped will this ointment work?

Accepted Answer

Listen: Acne is ALWAYS managable if the physician knows what he/she is doing. You're an adult and acne is a major personal and professional liability. If topical benzoyl peroxide wasn't enough (and I trust you're using this and/or retinoic acid), systemic tetracycline, topical clindamycin, systemic spironolactone, the oral contraceptive pill and/or "Accutane" are all options.

Question 7

i developed a friction burn on the shaft of my penis. i was wondering the best course of action for treatment. neosporin, aquaphor, or mupirocin ointment. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Use any of the two antibiotics above. In future use a water based personal lubricant or jelly on penis to reduce friction.

Question 8

lip pain. burn seeping chapped  derm took test. staph. topical mupirocin. better then worse. derm test. doxy hyclate 2 day 2 weeks  still taking. test no staph. now lips burn itch and under lips and tongue. can i take benedryl. could it be allergy?

Accepted Answer

Fixed drug eruption?: Sorry to hear of this problem, but glad you're seeing a dermatologist. S/he is the best person to further evaluate the problem. Your question about allergy may be a clue. Certain medications can cause this sort of thing. "Burn" like and "seeping" suggest the kind of allergy called fixed drug eruption. Ask the dermatologist. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) probably won't help much.

Question 9

so i have a cyst 27mm by 22 mm on my left kidney they said its a simple cyst that shouldnt cause any pain but it seems that it burns on that l side?

Accepted Answer

Cyst unlikely to be: the cause of symptoms. There may be some other issue, but it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you.
With fatty liver and high blood pressure, it is imperative that you lose weight.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 10

what can i do for my daughter;s 3rd degree burns?

Accepted Answer

3rd degree burn: Protect the burn areas from infection, drying out, contractures and help with rehab when it's at an appropriate point . Once healed and scarred, it can be reconstructed (more difficult if there's a keloid tendency).
