I have a very red very large very painful blister on my heel. will polybacitrin make it less painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not helpful for pain: Polbactrin is a mixture of antibiotics. It might help to reduce chances of infection or treat it if you already have one. However ever it is not supposed to help with pain.
