A member asked:
Would it be recommended to to put betadine and antibiotic gell on an infected earlobe piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: It shouldn't be a problem, but i would do one or the other, and alternate them. It may be possible that betadyne may interfere with some of the ingredients in the gel.
