A member asked:
Can i put neosporin on a painful red swollen lump on the tip of my foreskin to reduce the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...but...: Noes poring is antibacterial, not analgesic ( not a pain reliever). If the irritation is other than bacterial, such as herpes virus, then Neosporin will not work.
