Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
T-Bact Ointment contains 'Mupirocin', which is an antibiotic. It can be used to treat small wounds which have become infected. Hence, you can use it for your scalp injury.
Also, it is advisable to keep your scalp wound clean and healthy.
You can take a course of systemic antibiotic containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid along with antiinflammatory-analgesic medication like Ibuprofen.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
