Is it safe to use an antibiotic cream on flea bites on my butt area. i was taking care of puppies and got flea bites.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe but: For wounds such as small insect bites and small abrasions etc I prefer to tell patients to use soap and water to clean and keep area dry. You are quite able to treat such minor insults to your body. If any pain or wetness persists then using an antibiotic cream is completely justified and safe.
