Mupirocin is an antibiotic medication used to treat certain skin infections, such as impetigo. It comes in ointment or cream form and also is used in the treatment of infection associated with MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

This was given to me for a bad 2nd degree burn it is also used for impetigo. Basically any skin infection . It is cool and smoothing to my burn. It is working well. I dont know if I would put it near a babys mouth from sucking on a bottle. It is not for internal use at all it says external only.
