A member asked:

Can foban cream be applied to wound on face. the main point is will it slow down the healing process? i want the wound to heal as soon as possible thx

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Foban is safe: Foban is a trade name for a mild, compounded antibiotic. It's safe to use on the face or any other skin surface. It should help healing of an open wound infected with common bacteria (staph, strep).
