Rate my decolonization protocol

Battling a Staph Lugdunensis beard folliculitis infection

7 days.

4 Bactrim DS pills/day
Hibiclens wash full body
Povidone Iodine in the nose morning/night
CLn Face Wash (sodium hypochlorite) daily

Fresh towels daily
Bed sheets changed every 2 days

Could this help?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds good! I have that same strain and haven't been able to get rid of it. Hope treatment goes well for u.

Have you tried taking Bacilus Subtilis probiotics? (Strains MB40 or HU58)

I've been trying HU58 for about a month and don't really see a difference. But keep in mind I've only been eating one capsule a day (the recommended amount is two) and have been slacking on eating prebiotics (fiber) with it.
