Hello,Thanks for writing here.
Flutibact contain mupirocin which is a topical antibiotic.
Other content is fluticasone which is a steroid.
As you are suspecting a bacterial infection you need to apply only antibiotic cream and not steroid .
In fact steroid cream can worsen the infections.
So flutibact is best avoided.
You can apply a plane mupirocin cream instead.
Hope this will solve your query.Take care.
