What Can Be Done With Citrobacter Koseri Under The Nose?
What can be done with citrobacter koseri under my nose? My dr. did a sample and confirmed. Mupirocin topical was given me. Is that good enough?
I wore a dental mask for a few months while at work. (Dent. assistant.) Could that have caused it? Is it contagious? Shall I not kiss my husband?
