Accepted Answer

Bandaid: You can keep,your rug burn covered if you wish

Question 2

is it okay to put neosporin between your vagina lips a little close to the hole? i have a cut/friction burn. it's been a couple days n hasn't healed.

Accepted Answer

Use hydrocortisone: Some brands of neosporin are oil based and are likely to keep bacteria trapped in this sensitive area. Use over the counter Hydrocortisone on the skin portion of the labia only.

Question 3

so i've been told that a rug burn should be always moist/ have neosporin on it. i've also heard it should not stay moist. 6 days sinse it occurred.

Accepted Answer

No moist: Abrasions will not heal well in moist environments.  Topical antibiotics can help prevent infection, but generally keeping the area well ventilated, and letting a natural scab occur, will let the natural healing process begin.

Question 4

hi my son was playing on the floor and i believe he got a rug burn on his chin. i have neosporin i also have mupirocin ointment 2%. what is better?

Accepted Answer

Either one: Either of these should be fine.  Just be sure to clean the area daily with a mild soap and water.

Question 5

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 6

last night i spilled tea on my chest the burn turned red i cooled it with a compress and put neosporin today it's smaller but darker is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Burns: Whenever we burn our skin we cause an inflammatory response. If the skin remains red for a time period, it may become darker due to pigmentation changes in the skin. This is a normal process to healing. Try to use aloe to soothe the burn and take vitamin c to help with healing.

Question 7

can you put neosporin, pain relief cream, on a second degree burn?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That should be fine for smaller second degree burns.

Question 8

i got a burn under my eyelid, can i put neosporin under the eyelid?

Accepted Answer

On the skin: You may apply Neosporin ointment on the skin.

Question 9

what could/would happen if you pop a burn blister? is it ok to do if you put neosporin on after? it's annoying. thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

Risk for infection: The blister prevents the body from getting infected as well as covering nerve endings so you will likely feel more uncomfortable if the blister is popped. Best to take a look in person with your doctor for more advice, burn creams, antibiotics. Good luck

Question 10

i burned three of my fingers today and it's blistering and a little red also it's been burning for about 2 hours and i have put neosporin what to do?

Accepted Answer

THIRD DEGREE BURN: THIRD DEGREE BURN, is when the injury caused damage to the deeper layers resulting in blisters  and eventual rupture. You need to be examined and the severity assessed . I usually will start a topical antibiotic like SILVADENE and an oral antibiotic like CEFTIN (cefuroxime). Depending on severity a consult with a BURN SPECIALIST OR PLASTIC SURGEON MAY BE WARRANTED.
