My 11 yr old kid would always have a pimple like bump with pus appeared on her face. After oral antibiotic it would heal then after few weeks another would appear sometimes on the same spot sometime different part of her face. The doctor gave her mupicin ointment and advise to put on her nostril for 5 days. Why is that?
