Gram-negative face folliculitis is primarily caused by Pseudomonas. . Pseudomonas is commonly associated with swimmer's ear and chronic middle ear infections. The ears as a Pseudomonas reservoir may...

This is an excellent read. I agree that there is more bacteria involved than P. acnes. We all have that species in our skin yet only some of us get acne. Very interesting about the initial inflammator...

You are definitely on to something here. I've been using a similar method to clean my nostrils and ears for 5 days morning and evening and I didn't get one single pimple since. Since I'm from Europe...

Ill keep you posted. Could it still not be staph though if its cocci or is it always associated with staph/strep It can be Strep, but for what I've read skin infections with S. pyogenes are rare. It...

S. aureus is a gram + cocci and it should be classified as a pathogenic bacteria. However, just because it may not have been isolated from the pus swab doesn't mean it was never present. Your leukocyt...

It is likely that your dermatologist would swab on a mannitol salt agar plate to check for the presence of Staphylococcus. That's interesting that a pus swab turned up negative for any microorganism...

  Might want to check this out. Looks like you have some sort of folliculitis. Could be gram-negative due to all the antibiotics or staph colonization in your ears or other moist regions (s...

Thanks. What is your regimen like? Also has there been any incidence of recolonization of S.aureus in your nares? Here is my nose plate from Jan 12th. S. aureus has not returned. I also don't have ...

  I agree to what you say but I touch other parts of my body as much as i touch my chest, do you think certain areas are more susceptible to developing the infection? Anyway I came across many a...

Very interesting and informative read, finally digging into the cause of acneiform eruptions when it is mostly mistaken as acne. I had moderate acne and as a final resort took accutane. My acne has pr...

This is interesting information here, one dermatologist I went to five or six years ago wanted me to try this method inside both of my nostrils, back then I had very bad cystic acne along my jawlines....

How to apply Triple Antibiotic Ointment to your nostrils and ears: A Cotton swab or Fingertip + Triple Antibiotic Ointment into the nostrils or ears   2 to 3 time...

Neosporin has broken me out too many times to count. From personal experience, I'd avoid it if I were you. I use Vaseline on my face. It's pure, non-comedogenic, and does the exact same things as Neo...

I've put triple antibiotic ointment on lesions both before coming to a white head and after popping them. There wasn't much of a change when putting a dab on an unopened pimple but it worked fantastic...

Did you have clogged pores and blackheads along with the sores? Im thinking i might have staph.. a while ago I had a cyst on my inner thigh then one developed in my armpit i still get some on my thigh...

I'd like to second taking 5000 IU of Vitamin D, zinc and fish oil. They are all immune system boosters and adequate Vitamin D and fish oil consumption are critical to optimum health. If your immune sy...

A few updates: I've stopped putting TAO in my nostrils a couple of months ago and neither the nose sores nor folliculitis boils have returned. One guy with moderate to severe acne had S. aureus in b...

I had frequent Staph infections in my nose. They would be these bi-monthly sores in either nostril that would be painful to the touch. They took about a week to heal so long as I didn't pick the scab....

I've read a few posts saying that tap water may be the source for the acne. Thinking about it I figured out that when I wash my face I have redness and pimples but when I don't wash it at all it looks...

This is a very interesting study. I have had MRSA and wonder if I still carry it. I have noticed that many times an itch I scratch turns into acne. Have you still noticed no significant staph in your...

Ah okay. I would get frequent nose sores and I treated it with triple antibiotic ointment. I checked for Staph presence, and saw I completely removed them.   That stopped future nose sores and a...

Do you get frequent nose sores or ear infections? The pimples may be a Staph infection and they could be coming from your nose/ear.

I also used my shirt if I needed to scratch my face, but it was when I slipped up and used my fingers was I MUCH more likely to develop a pimple in that spot. S. aureus needs to get into the skin to c...
