Labial infection?: Prior to using anything for a presumed infection, see your gyn provider for an exam and culture. The "small bleeding cut" may not be a simple abrasion, and should be examined to be safe.

NO: Neosporin, bacitracin, aminoglycosides topically are useless. Worse, they are common sensitizers, causing allergic reactions. What evidence indicates a bacterial issue???? See a GYN.
