A member asked:
Can i put antibiotic ointment on inner lip stitches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For what reason ?: And is the ointment made for intraoral use? Is the wound infected? See your physician if there is a problem with the healing.. The infection would not be on the surface, but in the deeper tissues.
