Responses (2) Mupirocin is an antibacterial so it won't work on cold sores, which is a viral infection. For what its worth i had a cold sore the size of a dime last week and after 4 days of mupirocin it almost completely vanished. I have never got rid of a cold sore so quickly.
Topical mupirocin ointment, available only by prescription, is highly successful in treating mild forms of the infection. Don't try over-the-counter antibacterial ointments; they are too weak to kill strep and staph infections, and applying the ointment carelessly may actually spread the impetigo.
