I've got a boil on my arm and I'm worried it's MRSA because I've dealt with that in the past. I visited the doctor, and they prescribed mupirocin ointment for me, but they said to put it in my nose. I'm a bit confused because the instructions say it's not meant for intranasal use. Do you think I should follow the doctor's advice even though the ointment is labeled for external use?

Mupirocin ointment is indeed meant for external use only and should not be used intranasally, as mentioned in the instructions. If you have concerns about using it in your nose, it would be best to clarify with your doctor or seek a second opinion. For the boil on your arm, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics such as Bactrim or Clindamycin to treat MRSA infections.

I'm really worried because I've had ringworm near my private area for the past three months. I was using a cream on it and covering it with cotton, but it started spreading to nearby areas. The thing is, I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm really anxious because I was using the cream until yesterday. Could this have harmed my baby in any way? I'd appreciate any advice or insight you might have.
