Neosporin Reviews
For Bacterial Skin Infection "I had burned my arm with a curling iron on Saturday, and within a week, I had put Neosporin on at least 8 times a day to keep my burn moist, and I was also using bandages to help keep it on during work and at bedtime. My arm had become swollen, and it itched a lot. I thought the itching was due to it healing. I decided to go to the doctor due to the swelling. The swelling was approximately two inches by three inches. Well, come to find out, I was using too much Neosporin and using it longer than you should. The doctor said I have cellulitis, and I have to take the antibiotic Keflex for 10 days to get rid of it. Always see the doctor first."
For Bacterial Skin Infection "I use it on cuts and scrapes for the whole family and it significantly contributes to healing with no side effects. We only apply it a couple times a day, for just a few days."
