A member asked:
My pierced left earlobe hole is infected. will my acne cream/gel, respectively, benzamycin and retin-a work, or is neosporin strong enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See dermatologist: This may be a reaction to something applied to it, maybe not infection. DOES IT ITCH?? Throw away the neosporin. It is not only useless against infection, it is one of the most common things people are allergic to.
