Hi would really appreciate help from a GP or someone who has knowledge or experience of this. How do fungal spots on/around the nose differ from bacterial/hormonal ones? Also if fucidin hasn’t worked on a spot/boil after several days is it likely to? And is it worth trying daktarin on a spot that has not responded to fucidin? Daktarin was prescribed for my son for itchy soreness in folds of nose but he then got lots of small spots on the actual nose, on the same night I had applied daktarin to the folds. The spots were deemed bacterial so I was advised to apply fucidin to them. They have cleared with the fucidin (maybe coincidentally) except one on the top of his nose which is more like two tiny blisters and is now quite red. Also a little boil came up close to his eye which has calmed but not cleared (it is why I went ahead with fucidin as didn’t want it spreading - Nb thanks to the mumsnetter who advised re the natural route last week, which I would have followed if it weren’t for that). So I am wondering if these two last spots are in fact fungal? And if I should instead use daktarin?! Can you use daktarin and fucidin at the same time?! Or maybe after the next couple of days’ prescribed applications I should just go the natural route.
