Hello dear. Welcome to Healthcaremagic. I read your query and I understand your concern.
Mupirocin is used to treat certain skin infections (such as impetigo). It is an antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria.
Clean properly the are. Then apply a small amount of ointment to the area as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times a day. You may cover the treated area with a bandage.
Take care.
