 Effective antibiotic options include clindamycin, erythromycin, mupirocin, and fusidic acid.Topical clindamycin is generally preferred as the first-line choice due to lower cost and better availability.Fusidic acid is preferred over mupirocin in most cases due to less resistance to fusidic acid amongst "Methicillin-sensitive staphylococcus aureus" and "Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus".
