What kind of cream can I use on a staph infection ?Thank you!
My family and i only have ever used and i know it will sound weird but Toothpaste.
Wash the area(s) thoroughly with warm to nearly hot water.
Make sure that the area(s) are dry
then place a thick amount of toothpaste on it and repeat this for 3-5 days.
How do you know its a staph infection? Neosporin can also help, but if its staph a dr needs to see and treat it.
The only ointrment I know of for staff is called: Mupirocin ointment. Its a topical antibiotic . It is often used to treat skin infections and staff , that can cause MRSA, a very serious problem occurring in several hospitals.
Good luck and treat this seriously as you dont want MRSA or for MRSA to colonize in your nose or underarms!
