I noticed the post about a Bactroban recall of certain lot numbers.  I
certainly hope it is not being widely prescribed for nipple yeast
infections.  It is a topical antibacterial medication, available in the
U.S. only by prescription.  It is not an antifungal, and would be
useless against a yeast infection.  Thank you for providing the lot
numbers; health care providers frequently use it to treat impetigo,
which is a common skin infection occurring most frequently in children.
