Comment:
I developed a large blister and hoped the skin would stay intact but it tore immediately, leaving a quarter sized sound in my palm. I had mupirocin on hand for past bouts of MRSA in the nose, so I cleaned the are, and used the 2% mupirocin for 3 days now, with the wound covered, and healing is progressing quickly. This ointment works great for me to both treat or prevent skin infections.
