Does bactroban/mupirocin promote healing of wounds? does it help them heal quicker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wound: Bactroban/Mupirocin are topical antibiotics. If the skin is infected then it will help the wound to heal. If no infection is present then Aquaphor ointment applied twice a day is most effective.
