Is it safe to use Bactroban ointment inside my nose, not the nasal one the regular one?

My surgeon prescript me Bactroban ointment for one week to help with crusting inside my nose that he said it is due to staph infection. but he prescript the regular ointment that is use for the skin not the nasal Bactroban ointment. is this one safe to use inside the nose? in the instructions say not to use in the nose that is could cause burning and dryness. can someone help me get a clarification on this. Thanks!
