A member asked:

Is antibiotic ointment good for pimple in nose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Charles Kattuah answered

Possibly: If you can get the ointment on it then it may heal faster. It certainly can't hurt to try. These things do eventually heal on their own though.

Dr Satulovsky agreed
