Question 1

i have a bump next to my clitoris. it is mildly painful and the size of a pea. what could it be? can i use neosporin?

Accepted Answer

Maybe cyst or infect: I would suggest you go to your family doctor or gynecologist to have it examined.  It may be a cyst but it may also be an infection.  Regardless, usually, it goes away in a few days but just to make sure it doesn't have to be drained and treated with antibiotics, see your doctor.

Question 2

i had my clitoris pierced 8 wks ago.i lost my virginity last week, and now it hurts. would ice & neosporin help?

Accepted Answer

Hot bath not cold: Try a hot sitz bath to eliminate the discomfort and save the ice for your drinks.

Question 3

can neosporin be put on burns?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A mainstay of burn treatment is application of antimicrobial ointment (e.g., neosporin, polysporin, (bacitracin and polymyxin) bacitracin, triple-antibiotic ointment) or cream (e.g., silvadene) to the wound.

Question 4

can i put neosporin on frenulum?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm....: Frenula (plural of frenulum), whether on a lip, a tongue, or a penis, are supposed to stay attached from birth to death. If there has been some trauma or accident, a frenulum can tear,but a torn frenulum should cause no disability nor problems. If there is a cut or scrape of a frenulum, that does not mean anything needs to be put on it, although a bit of Neosporin is usually harmless.

Question 5

is it good to put neosporin on open wounds?

Accepted Answer

Neosporin: I do not recommend neosporin as 15-20% of the population have an allergic reaction to neomycin in the neosporin.

Question 6

is ?neosporin ointment ok to?put on any cut?

Accepted Answer

Yes: For minor lacerations it is fine to use.

Question 7

if u put peroxide and neosporin on a open boil will it heal?

Accepted Answer

Possibly...: It is important to keep it covered using a band-aid. Keep an eye on it and make sure ti doesn't get infected.

Question 8

i have a small cut on my foreskin, should i put neosporin on it, and how long will it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Put some neosporin on it. Should only take a couple of days to heal.

Question 9

can you put neosporin on a bugbite?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Neosporin is an effective antibiotic and if there is concern that a bug bite might be infected, then that is a reasonable choice.  Few bugbites are infectious although some from ticks and mosquitoes can transmit disease.

Question 10

should i put neosporin on an insect bite?

Accepted Answer

Ointments on bites: Insect or spider bites rarely result in infection. Using an antibiotic ointment probably won't prevent an infection. However, an ointment of any kind on the surface may help decrease pain as some bites feel worse when exposed to air.
