Mupirocin works great - knocks down Staph Aureus flare ups down every time!

If I get a cold, and start blowing my nose, eventually I'll get a skin infection around my nose - identical to what a Staph Aureus infection would look like - I've had these my whole life. And the normal 'Neosporin' oinment (comprised of neomycin, bacitracin, and polymyxin - antibiotics) does not help. In fact, if I ever smear a pending infection with Neosporin ointment - the infection get immediately 10x worse - it's like the Staph Aureus eats the Neosporin ointment and just grows on the stuff (either that, or the neosporin actually wipes out the good bacteria and leaves the field clear for the Staph to take over). However, it is very hard for Staph Aureus to become immune to Mupirocin - and so for years, I have used this ointment to prevent a full-blown Staph infection around my nose - as long as I apply some for 1-2 days straight as soon as I sense an irritation or a skin break has allowed a red-spot to show up, this will knock down the infection and prevent the skin from breaking into a full-blown oozing / crusty spot. So, yes, this Mupirocin is good stuff - every effective and highly recommended as a topical antibiotic.
