A member asked:
Can you use triple antibiotic oimtment on lips, because i'm not sure if its causing breakout around my mouth that hasnt been there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Antibiotic creams can be used on the lips as they often are for peri-oral impetigo in infants/children. But that does not mean you may not be allergic to one of the components of the cream. See a dr. for an evaluation if it persists.
