can I use mupirocin ointment for ingrown hair infection or should I use nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream USP I did not know that I had to pay... I do not have the money or a credit card to pay I thought this was a public service .. stupid me
Mupirocin is better choice for any kind of bacterial infection rather than others. Though it is a bit costly but the results with it are very good. So My opinion is to go with it rather than using anything else. Nystatin is antifungal & triamcinolone is steroid which won't be beneficial in bacterial infection. What is important here is the degree of infection you are having if it is quit big wound then you have to start oral antibiotics too. The decision of starting oral antibiotics & anti-inflammatory agents can only be taken after having look at the infection site. But I will definitely suggest mupirocin which will be beneficial.
