Q: can i use mupirocin ointment for preventing infection of my 6 month ages nose piercing?

: If you have methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus it may sound reasonable otherwise it sounds expensive when you could easily engage in good hygiene and probably alcohol wipe immediately after nose piercing.
