After being treated with Lamisil and Ketoconazole without results, another physician (a plastic surgeon that did an elective surgery) prescribed Mupirocin for what she believes is a staph infection around my mouth. In a weeks time there is an 85% improvement, but the inflammation is still persistent. I wonder if I should also be started on oral antibiotics. I am discharged from the plastic surgeons care so would have to follow up with my PCP. The first available dermatology appointment is not until Jan. Please advise.
