Earlobe stitches, can i use neosporin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What did the: Treating physician tell you? Neosporin is a triple antibiotic. It's use can increase your sensitivity to any of the antibiotics it contains (especially neomycin). Did you doctor want you to put anything over your stitches?
