How will peroxide/bacitracin bth affect staph &or herpes or any puss filled draining sore on area above clitoris ...started itchin then bump busted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Peroxide will provide variable levels of killing for staph, and Bacitracin is an antibiotic against streptococcus; it has poor activity against staph. Neither will have any effect against herpes. If it was a boil you had, then the draining itself is probably therapeutic; if the redness/hard area extends, i would see a doctor for systemic antibiotics.
