A member asked:
If someone had many minor cuts over an area of 1.5 feet by 2 inches/34 square inches total, is using an antibiotic cream on the entire area okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well depends: If you have so many minor cuts you have to be sure they are not infected. Your antibiotic ointment is ok if all wounds are superficial and non threatening. You are best served to be examined
