Neosporin scar solution, should i go for sheets or mederma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Most people don't need anything other than come cacao butter on the wound to help the healing. Prolonged use of neosporin will lead to problems. Use of me derma and silicone sheeting may be helpful when called for.
