Topically (in combination with other anti-infectives) to prevent or treat superficial skin infections caused by susceptible organisms.

May be useful for preventing infection in minor skin injuries (e.g., cuts, scrapes, burns).

Role of topical anti-infectives for treatment of superficial skin infections has not been fully elucidated.

Self-medication with topical anti-infectives to treat superficial skin infections currently is not recommended.

Treatment of serious or extensive skin infections usually requires systemic anti-infective therapy.
