Comment from: Chyennes, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

Bactroban had me at awe when I first used it with its fast effectiveness at healing my fever blister on my chin. This blister consumes my chin when my lymphnodes in my throat swell and using Bactroban it lasted about two weeks then it was completely gone/healed. I highly recommend this item to all that has a problem with cold sores, fever blisters or issues of the sort. I deal with this fever blister about every year now and would not be caught without my Bactroban. I keep some at home all the time!!! I never know when the blister may pop up.

I had an infection right in the corners of my lips. I could not open my mouth enough to eat because the skin would crack and release puss. It was extremely painful. After one day of using bactroban i noticed much relief. My only gripe is that I could not get generic- $45!!! Published: September 18, 2008 ::

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.

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. Published: February 19, 2009 ::

I'm a 35yr old female w/ cystic acne and this med. has been the best thing I've found. I've tried everything over the counter and none of it helped at all in fact some of it made it worse. This med is great, however it is very costly, w/ out Ins. it cost 144.00, after my Ins. it was still 50.00 but it's worth it!!!!! Published: October 05, 2008 ::

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. Published: April 10, 2009 ::

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. Published: March 18, 2009 ::

Comment from: Lydia, 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I had surgery to install a titanium plate following a broken arm. I developed an infection in one of the self-dissolving sutures under the skin. One day after using the cream (in conjunction with an oral antibiotic) topped by a band aid, the infection had been drawn to the surface and drained. After two days, the infection was not visible but a hole the size of a pencil eraser was left in my arm on the incision site. It has taken about two weeks for the hole to heal. I feel this cream was instrumental in getting the infection cleared up right away so healing could begin (again, the oral antibiotics certainly played a part, too). Published: February 11, 2009 ::
