Also, I used mupirocin a few weeks ago and didn’t like the warm tingling sensation it gave me

Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
It doesn't appear to be infection.
It looks like an allergic reaction.
Apply desonide lotion 0.05% daily in night for a week on the rash.
Keep the area clean, just wash with water.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
