A member asked:

Three mosquito bites on my back from two days ago are now small pus spots. should i go for oral antibiotics? or will otc antibiotic ointment do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neither: Small pustules need only a rinse with water, usually a shower. If you have bacitracin or neosporin or triple antibiotic or any other aminoglycocide cream, know that they are useless. They are also common sensitizers, among the most common causes of allergic reactions.
