Which medication i must use to treat circumcision wounds?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Antibiotic ointment: I recommend that the parents of my pediatric patients keep the penis gooped up with antibiotic ointment with each diaper change or bath. Good examples of such ointments are bacitracin, polysporin, (bacitracin and polymyxin) neosporin, and triple-antibiotic ointment. The best thing to do is to ask for advice from the physician who performed the circumcision.
