Mupirocin or T-bact has been shown to be safe in children over 2 months of age. If your doctor prescribed it at 20 days it is probably safe then as well. I think the second part of your question is about the safety of Johnson and Johnson powder. As long as it is baby powder it will be safe to use also.
