User Reviews for Bactroban topical

i used this medecine to treat a sore on my lip and it worked well but i wound up with thrush in my mouth from it.

I have used Bactroban Topical Ointment in the past for treating skin infections on my lower legs, caused by cellulitis and have been happy with the results. Now that I've been diagnosed with some form of pustulent skin condition, I'm using it again to help heal the ugly skin lesions and blisters. I'm very satisfied with the rate of improvement that I've seen in only a couple of days of use and would highly recommend this product.

After using Neosporin Ointment on wounds for years, I suddenly developed an allergy to it. The affected area developed multiple blisters which became infected. Not good! My dermatologist prescribed Bactroban 2% Ointment SKB to heal the infection. I got the generic form which is Mupirocin 2% Ointment TEV. The Mupirocin did a good job of clearing up the infected area. Doctor also prescribed Clobetasol Propionate Ointment because the blisters were very itchy. The skin healed well without a scar! I now use the Mupirocin for minor cuts/wounds in place of Neosporin with good results.Read More Read Less

Bactriban is great - SilvaSorb Gel is better and more broad spectrum. You can purchase it online or at your local DME (durable medical equipment) store.

I was given Bactroban cream to help with a staff infection on the corner of my mouth, along with an oral antibiotic. I had an allergic reaction to the Bactroban by getting a raw, burning red rash which constantly oozed out a liquid. I finally stopped using it after 5 days and within a couple of days, the rash started to go away.

For years I would get an incredibly nasty, puss filled rashes, especially on my legs. It took years to diagnose that it was a staph infection that was generally spread when I shaved my legs. It was a miracle to me to get the Bactroban prescribed to me. My doctor told me to put some on a Q-tip and put it in each nostril...then, if necessary, I could also put it on the sores. It works wonderfully, I have not had a full on outbreak in years. I have my standing prescription and put a bit on if it looks like I may be getting an infection. Also, what I thought was cystic acne turned out to be staph as well. Now, when I start to break out or when I get my lip waxed (which also tends to cause me an infection) I put some Muprocin on it, and it clears it right up. I LOVE this drug!Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this drug by a doctor for a staph. infection in the ear, and I must say it is simply horrible, as It caused very painful ear drainage to occur almost overnight, and probably some small hearing loss. Please do not use this producth, and ask your doctor about an alternative

sores in nose were healed quickly, it says not to use but for me it worked thats whats important to me!

i use this everytime when any member of my family got wounds and easily heals! this medicine is always in our medicine kit.

My doctor prescribed this for a staph infection. It didn't work at all.

I hate that I have to cover my face in a sticky ointment all day, its real uncomfortable. I think they have injections of the antibiotic. I also think that the actual ointment may be causing cloged pores and then leading to pimples that get infected by the bacteria starting the cycle again.

I have drug allergies, and was limited to what I can use. The cream has help to heal a wound on my backside that was very painful. I am very pleased with this medication.

My 8 yr old son had a surface infection on his arm pit. After applying this medicine I seen that it was working the next day.

i use this medicain because i was dinose with mrsa about 4yrs aao and i was just put on this medicain

I used it for a very bad case of MRSA in 3 places on my body. It had no side effects, was not greasy and seemed to work well.

I was given teh generic of bactroban only yesterday and i have seen a mild improvement on the liesons on my breat. i've also used it on acne in that day and i have seen an improvement in that, also. it's unfortunate some of the people who wrote reviews and many others, i'm sure, had to pay such a high amount for the med. i managed to pay $10 for the generic. i'm hoping this will clear up the leisons on my skin! only time will tell.

My father and I experience some kind of foot fungas. He said his Doctor said is was in our bodies and would never go away. However, this ointment within days makes my skin like that of a baby! Amazing results! Typically every two to three weeks I give myself a small treatment where needed. So either the fungas is not strong or the medicine is just great. I would defintely recommend it for that kind of use.

I first used this product to treat an open wound after surgery. I worked great!! I use oxygen and occassionally get raw skin on my nose or ears from the canula. This clears it up in just a few days. Wonderful product.
