I was prescribed Bactroban 2% Ointment 22gm for impetigo, and I was wondering if anyone else has had severe side effects from it. I've been using it for a few days, and while it seems to be working, I've noticed some pretty intense irritation at the application site. I'm hoping it's just a minor reaction, but I'm a bit worried, especially after reading about the potential for severe allergic reactions. Did anyone else go through something similar, and what did you do? If this is normal, how long does it typically last? Any advice from someone who has been there would be appreciated.
