Should I Be Concerned About Applying Mupirocin On My Lips?
I have cronic chapped lips that have been peeling for years. Mostly on my upper lip . A Doctor just prescribed Mupirocin because he thinks it might be a bacterial infection . But, all I see for mupirocin is treating impetigo , which I do not have any of those syptoms. My lips do not ooze, they just peel all the time. Should I be concerened about applying Mupirocin to my lips?
