Polysporin, aloe vera, or vitamin e oil on a huge zit. which is better to use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aloe Vera may help: Aloe vera may help, but polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) and mineral oil will make pimples worse but there are no scintific studies to support its use and more research is needed to confirm its use for treatment of acne zits.
