Question 2

Question 9

can i use neosporin for my lip?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You can, especially if there is a wound or crack causing bleeding.  However, i don't like neosporin on the face because the neomycin in neosporin has been known o cause a chemical dermatitis.  Use polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) for this purpose instead.  If using it just for chapped lips, just use chapstick or similar...
