Got my cartilage pierced & its infected. went to dr & they put me on meds, but i forgot 2 ask if i should put neosporin on it. should i?

Infection.: If you were put on an oral antibiotic, that should usually suffice. It couldn't hurt to put on some NeoSporin, or even better, some Bacitracin twice daily, just to really make sure we eradicate that bacterial population locally.
