Can mupirocin ointment usp, 2% be used to treat red smelly spot on infants neck fold?

Not likely: What you describe in a neck fold sounds like a candidal yeast infection, which would respond to an antifungal like nystatin

It might: There are several possible diagnoses. Ventillate and gently rinse this area of skin. Gently dry it after the bath.
