Yes, you can apply a bandage over mupirocin ointment after applying it to a wound or infection site. This helps protect the area and keeps the medication in contact with the skin. However, if the area is large or the bandage causes irritation, it may be best to leave it uncovered to allow for proper airflow. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding bandaging and medication application.
