Bactroban (mupirocin) is an antibiotic typically used to treat bacterial infections, not fungal infections like ringworm. Using Bactroban on ringworm may not be effective, as ringworm is caused by a dermatophyte fungus rather than bacteria. For effective treatment of ringworm, antifungal medications, such as topical creams containing clotrimazole or terbinafine, are recommended instead. If ringworm is improperly treated with Bactroban, it may persist or worsen due to the lack of appropriate antifungal action.
