A member asked:
I had plantar fasciitis surgery 3 weeks ago. the dr said to alternate betadine and neosporin. would mupirocin ointment work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ointment: the mupirocin would be acceptable to replace neosporin. However, I would still suggest betadine or a hard soap like cetaphil to keep the area clean.
