A member asked:
Can i use mupirocin ointment 2% after changing my jewellery to prevent infection of my 6 month ages nose piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would be better to use bacitracin for preventative treatment and wash with soap & water & keep clean. If you start to see signs of infection, you can use the mupirocin. Using it too often or unnecessarily can lead to resistance & then it may not work when it’s needed.
