A member asked:

Sores in nose: lab results staph and streph phenomiae. cipro (ciprofloxacin) 10 days went away... now sores r back.. what should i do- how serious r these bugs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antibiotic ointment: First, be sure you quit traumatizing your nose, even minor. This is often caused by one's fingernails. Staph and strep pneumonia are normal colonizing bacteria for many people without harm. Harm comes when one's natural body defenses, such intact skin and nose lining is compromised. An antibiotic ointment is helpful as it is very local in effect and potent.
