Can you tell me if i could use neosporin on my cartilage piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor choice: Studies of aminoglycosides such as neosporin, bacitracin, triple antibiotic fail to show that they are any better than vaseline or Aquaphor. In fact they are common sensitazers, so they are among the most common causes of allergic reactions.
