A member asked:
We started using bacitracin already for a second degree burn with blisters. i was told to use it. is it ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!!!!!: Bacitracin does not prevent infections. Bacitracin is a common sensitizer. It is one of the most common causes of allergic reactions. Usually the reactions just cause local itch, redness, swelling, poor wound healing. A few deaths have occurred. Treat it with water irrigation and vaseline or Aquaphor.
