Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

As a physician I would like to tell you that according to the symptoms you are prescribing you may be suffering from Folliculitis in Mustache. I would suggest that you continue using Triple antibiotic cream as you were using.

Additionally I would like to tell you that if the infection still persist for more than5 days or if Pus starts coming out from it, you may need to visit a physician to get prescribed a Antibiotic course.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
