Hello,
Bactroban is a Mupirocin which is poorly absorbed through intact human skin but it is absorbed through broken/diseased skin.
Bactroban Topical ointment is indicated for the topical treatment of primary and secondary bacterial skin infections caused by bacteria.
No problem what he has recommended is right. you Can wear the gold Knob.
Thank you.
