A member asked:
Can i use tricinolone steroid cream & neosporin antibacterial together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: These can be used together with the steroid cream applied first. This is often done if rashes such as eczema are secondarily infected. However, bactroban (mupirocin) ointment is a better choice than neosporin due to the lower risk of allergic contact dermatitis.
