You need to continue applying mupirocin over the affected area twice daily until all lesions have dried up completely. Mupirocin will prevent secondary infection and thereby reduce the risk of scarring. Calamine lotion has got soothing effect and reduces the pruritus. Avoid rubbing or scratching the lesions as much as possible. Regards
