A member asked:
If someone has a leg ulcer do to edema is it ok to put neosporin on it? or is it best to let it develop a scab?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neosporin or triple antibiotic cream will help in preventing infection, however, it is imperative that the cause of edema be addresses. Persistent edema will interfere with healing. Wish you good health!
