I had a bad reaction lips which had blisters before. After taking a steroid medication, the bilsters are gone but my lips are still swollen and irritated.
I was given Mupirocin prescription from my doctor; however, this drug should avoid mouth area. I wonder whether I can use it on my lips or not. I would appreciate it if you can answer my question.
Can I use Mupirocin my swollen lips?

If the mupirocin antibiotic ointment was prescribed for your lips by your doctor then it's fine. You can safely apply it to the lips as directed.
