Mupirocin cream 2% is a topical antibiotic used to treat certain skin infections caused by bacteria. It is commonly used to treat impetigo, a contagious skin infection commonly seen in children. Mupirocin works by stopping the growth of bacteria on the skin, helping to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
 
It is important to note that Mupirocin cream should not be used on the eyes, inside the nose, or on large areas of broken skin. Additionally, individuals with a known allergy to mupirocin or any of its ingredients should not use this medication. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using any new medication to ensure it is the right choice for your individual needs.
 
Keep in mind that Mupirocin cream is meant for external use only, and should not be ingested. If you are experiencing symptoms of a skin infection, consult with a pharmacist or healthcare provider to see if Mupirocin may be a suitable treatment option for you.
