Thank you, Patrice. I also use topical antibiotics on my ulcers, with mixed results. Sometimes Mupirocin, which is a prescription level version of Bactroban, can be helpful, but I also find it can break down my skin. I have to be very careful with it. Usually, the only way I can really get rid of an infection is with Minocycline.
Be well.

BTW, I use Neosporin (not triple antibiotic ointment) for any and all infections or open sores. I have had great results!
