Sorry this question wasn't answered earlier for you.
Mupirocin is an antibacterial and will only help if the diaper rash has become infected with bacteria. This is unlikely. Diaper rash most often gets infected with a yeast or a fungus called Candida.
Mupirocin should only be used on the recommendation of your doctor.
