Hi,
I've used Mupirocin and Neosporin for at least 25 years. I never run out. The Mupirocin is the most effective. It will clear things up for a few months but then you have to start using it again. It's by prescription. You want to ask your doctor for Mupirocin Ointment USP, 2%. The Neosporin is over the counter and not as effective but pretty good. Mentholatum is good too and over the counter. I hope things work out for you!
