A member asked:
I developed an abrasion on my penis from masturbating with out lubricant. ive used neosporin yesterday but then remembered i have mupirocin ointment from a doctor for a previous skin infection on my arm. is mupirocin better or only for infection?

mupirocin is an antibiotic used for infection. Suggest you use something like aquaphor healing ointment, which would serve both purposes as a healing cream and lubricant. It is available w/o Rx

Abraison should heal by itself if kept clean. There is no need for an antibiotic.
