A member asked:
I applied mupirocin on my skin infection usually at 8am then 2pm or 3pm then 9 or 10pm. is that okay even it's not 8 hrs in between?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
8 hours: Not a problem. No two people have the same time interval for applyning creams. The 8 hours in between is the average time not the definitive time. Relax and get better soon.
