Ointment after nose surgery?

ketoketi
Hello. I had rhinoplasty with grafts 8 days ago. I was told to use Mupirocin 2% ointment in my nose. I did it twice already. Then I read its instruction which says - dermatologic use only. Do not ise in nose. Im confused. Its just regular bactroban, not nasal. Did I harm myself. Im so nervous. Please answer me.
