Posted on Wed, 2 Sep 2020
Question: Hi, On skin some blister kind of infection is there. After using soframycine ointment for about a week it got cured but again it started. It started at two other places of the body aswell. At my house, construction is going on so there is no facility to dry clothes outside from past four months. Could this infection be because of this? Is this any kind of bacterial infection? Please suggest some medicine. Attached the image. Age: 32 years. Gender: Female Regards, Khadar

You need an oral antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

You need to take oral antibiotics e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for a week..In addition I suggest you to use a topical antibiotic e.g either Mupirocin 2% cream or Fusidic acid 2% cream, twice daily for a week. These are prescription medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Hi Doctor, Thanks for the response. What is the dose for Amoxicillin? How many times a day? Any tablets to be taken before food in case if antibiotics cause gastric problems? Regards, akhadar

Brief Answer:
Regarding oral antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
hi.
The dose is 500mg, 3 times a day. You would need a prescription for it from your local doctor. Amoxicillin doesn't cause gastric irritation.
Take care
