Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
bactroban contains a antibiotic cream and it will not be effective on fungal infection of skin.
If its a fungal infection clotrimazole cream application twice a day for 2-3 weeks will be helpful.
Visiting a dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment.
I will be available for follow up.
Regards.
