A member asked:
Is it okay to apply neosporin on the lip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Throw it away. Aminoglycoside antibiotics used on skin have not been shown to treat or prevent infections. They are sensitizers, causing allergic reactions. They promote emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. If you have a wound, vaseline or Aquaphor is superior. You forgot to indicate the reason for using it.
