Yes : Neosporin is a good topical antibiotic to heal skin openings from cuts or other forms of trauma. It should not be used on rashes nor should it be used for a prolonged period of time.

I got bitten by my dog two days ago on my wrist and it didn't seem to break skin. I applied Neosporin to the area just to be safe. Last night I noticed a hard bump not unlike a big bug bite in the area. Do I need to see a doctor or will it go away?
