Could putting neosporin on my penis cause irritation to the skin on it if i have sensitive skin there and have that condition all over?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Balanitis: One can be allergic to the neomycin component of neosporin. The other possibility is that whatever you are attempting to treat with the neosporin is fungal and not helped by the antibacterial neosporin. Either way, get examined if it persists.
