Mupirocine is better choice for any kind of bacterial infection rather than others. Though it is bit costly but the results with it are very good. So My opinion is to go with it rather than using anything else.
Nystatin is antifungal & triamcinolone is strroid which wont be benificial in bacterial infection.
What is important here is the dergree of infection you are having if it is quit big wound then you have to start oral antibiotics too. The decision of starting oral antibiotics & anti-iflamatory agents can only be taken after having look at the infection site.
But I will definitly suggest mupirocin which will be benificail.
