Which Medicine Is More Effective Than Mupirocin For Rashes?

I was sweating excessively while exercising last week. A few days ago when I got home after exercising, I noticed a red swelling and rash on both sides of my face. I rubbed some gold bond cream and went to bed. The next morning it was still there and the gold bond cream didn t seem to make a difference. I went to a local urgent care and the doctor prescribed Mupirocin. I ve been using it for the last 2 days and the rash doesn t seem to be getting better. It also burns and stings a lot after I apply the Mupirocin ointment. Do you think I need to go back to the doctor or wait a bit longer? Are there any other treatments or ointments that could work better? Is it normal for Mupirocin to sting and burn?
