I think you are doing too much at once and you have unrealistic expectations as to how quickly this should resolve. Less is more in these cases. Remember, this is not an ailment that you can cure - it is only one you can manage. I suggest you pick one treatment. I recommend using the benzoyl peroxide once a day. The mupiricin is likely what is causing the discoloration and it is only indicated for use if there is a concurrent infection (same with the Chlorhexidine). There does not seem to be an infection in this case. Continue with the steel bowls. If after one week of using ONLY the benzoyl peroxide and you are not seeing any improvement then feel free to post again and we can see if we can help you more.
