Staph Infection Prevention While on Accutane

kris123
I've just started taking Accutane (20mg/AM, 40mg/PM). My doctor also prescribed me Mupirocin ointment as a precaution to avoid getting a staph infection. I have never had a staph infection before. Should I continue to use this twice a day for 6 months?
