A member asked:
Need to know is zinc oxide good to use on a staph infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not enough: If you have a real staph infection the zinc ointment most likely will not be enough to kill it. Unless this is just a very small area of staph for instance a small cut that got red you will need oral antibiotics so see a doctor
