Does mupirocin heal wounds caused by ear piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not: Mupirocin is just one antibiotic ointment that may help prevent infection or help healing if a wound germs are sensitive to that medicine. It may not. Treating the wound with hydrogen peroxide followed by drying can also help. Some germs may be resistant to both.
