Can mupirocin ointment usp 2 be used for diaper rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are some diaper rashes that likely need mupirocin, usually those that look like pustules or sores. Most of the flat red ones, though, will get better with regular zinc-oxide based diaper ointments. Your doctor can often tell by looking which would be better.
