HI
WHY ARE YOU ON MUPIROCIN.
MEANS IS THERE IS SOME DISEASE FOR WHICH YOU WERE PRESCRINED THIS DRUG.
GENERALLY MUPIROCIN IS GIVEN FROM CONDITION RANGING FROM FOLLICULITS TO SEVERE SKIN INFECTION.
SO IT WOULD BE OF MUCH HELP WHY DID YOU TAKE MUPIROCIN
MAY BE ITS THE DISEASE PER SE WHICH CAUSE THESE RASHES AND NOT THE MUPIROCIN.
RED ITCHY RASH MOST PEOPLE WILL THINK OF FUNGAL INFECTION RATHER THEN A PSORIASIS .
YOU CAN'T DECIDE A RASH BEFORE SEEING IT.
PLEASE DO VISIT A DERMATOLOGIST BEFORE YOUR DISEASE SPREADS.
