Will 'bactroban' Help In Treating Bumpy Rash On The Face?
I have for four months had a bumpy rash in the crease of one side of my nose which seems to now have spread underneath in the form of pimple looking spots and lumps. I was given several steroid creams months back which one seemed to work ok but when I stop using it it flared back up. I decided to abort all steroid creams after reading up about perioral dermatitis. My dr has given me bactroban to apply which I have for two days. Do you think this is what I should be doing? I am using cetaphil wash n where possible avoiding makeup.
It seems to be perioral dermatitis. I would recommend you to continue applying bactroban cream along with cetaphil wash. If possible take a course of tablet azithromycin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
