As from Monday, I noticed yellow patches/scabs in one nostril, it burns alot and is very sore. I'm using generic Bactroban, but my nose is running and I'm not sure if the cream gets chance to get absorbed. Should I go to the doctor to get it checked?
Nose swab tested positive for a gram negative bacilli and cocci colony. This was causing sore outbreaks on face.Took bactroban 2x daily for 10 days. Will bactroban eliminate both? Are these types of nasal colonies recurring? Or should I be fine now?
Are there any WATER BASED, ODORLESS ointments that can be used inside of one's nostrils to relieve dry nose? I've tried saline spray and Ayr gel but they don't work for very long. My doctor gave me Mupirocin and it works great but it's an antibiotic?
Are there any WATER BASED, ODORLESS ointments that can be used inside of one's nostrils to relieve dry nose? My doctor gave me Mupirocin (Bactroban) Ointment and it works great but it's an antibiotic. Would Glycerine be safe to use?
Where do I need to apply nasal bactroban for it be most effective? Is it just the lower nostril area (where my finger would fit) or higher? How much?
