Pros

  • I went to an urgent care and was prescribed Mupirocin ointment. Apply 2x daily with a cotton swab. Went away in 2 weeks.
  • Mupirocin is also what worked for me, but to be clear it is anti bacterial and not anti fungal. Staph is often involved in these infections, and mupirocin is the most effective treatment for staph.
  • I tried everything for the angular cheilitis for months and nothing worked except mupirocin which cleared it within days.
  • Mupirocin works fast. I had it prescribed for some crazy skin infection from a hot tub. By the next day all the painful bits cleared up, and it was just redness and bumps.
  • I was prescribed mupirocin, and my friend also mentioned colloid bands as a way to prevent scarring. Obviously I also know that once this heals I’ll need to apply sunscreen everyday, and until then I’m keeping nonadherent bandages on it...
