What Is Desonide Ointment Prescribed For?

I just received two prescriptions through express scripts in the mail. One is for an itchy, dry patch on my eye, and the other is for a sore in my nose. I am unable to tell which prescription is which. One is Desonide Ointment, .05%, and the other is Mupirocin, 2%.
