Hi,

Mupirocin ointment is a mild antibiotic ointment to be used for prescribed time to cure subcutaneous infections but it also can be used intranasally without any risk. Use it in a small amount to the intranasal lesion as per advised by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
