A member asked:
I have chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis on one of my ears. is it ok to use lotion and neosporin on it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO and NO: Throw away the neosporin because it is useless and harmful. A simple surgical procedure will cure this. But application of nitroglycerine paste (prescription) is much easier and usually more effective.
