Bacitracin is an anti-bacterial. Yeast infections are fungal. The use of anti-bacterials can actually worsen a yeast infection because they cause an imbalance in the natural bacteria that resides in us. Decreased harmless bacteria, therefore, allows the natural level of yeast to multiply and turn into an infection.
Many vaginitis infections have similar symptoms and can come from many different sources (fungal, protazoan, etc) so you should check with a doctor to determine which you have.

all in all, bacitracin is a quick fix for a few days until you can get an athletes foot otc drug.

Bacitracin Zinc Topical ointment can it work on burns?

Can bacitracin zinc ointment work on herpes?
Bacitracin Zinc is an excellent antibiotic (it's actually a mix of polypeptide antibiotics) for topical infections caused by gram positive organisms - staph, strep, enterococcus, clostridium difficile, etc. It doesn't work well on gram negative bacteria ( eg: pseudomonas, e. coli, serratia, etc.) because it works to break down the cell wall surrounding gram positive bacteria (kind of like penicillins). Gram negative bacteria don't have that kind of external covering, and thus are not (usually) suseptable. Bacitracin is extremely nephrotoxic (kidneys), so it isn't used for internal infections (v. rarely given I.M. for pediatric staphylococcal pnumonia that won't respond to other antibiotics). Primary uses are for staph infections of the skin and eyes. There is a very low rate of bacterial resistance, even in MRSA strains, and it's not very likely to cause an allergic reaction. So, yes, the ointment should work v. well on a staph infection. For ocular staph infections, there are ophthalmic ointment formulations. Keratopro The problem with zinc and staph is that staph craves zinc and manganese: http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?ID=6154

Does bacitracin zinc ointment work on second degree sunburn?
You can, but you're better off using Silvadene cream (Silver Sulfadiazine) as it's typically used in ER's and prescribed for both 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Works well, keeps the area moist and protected, helps promote fast healing (anti-bacterial properties)
Is 1000 mg of tindamax for two day enough to cure bacterial vaginosis?
This medication is not a classic antibiotic and is instead used to treat amoebic and parasitic infestations. As these are uncommon infections, you're very likely looking at using the wrong medication. More likely are yeast infections, or bacterial infections. However, this medication will not work effectively for either of the two more likelt cases.
Can you use Bacitracin for a Rubik's Cube?
If you do not have plain petroleum jelly, Bacitracin can work. It is just an antibiotic with a petroleum base. However, a very large jar of petroleum is only a couple of dollars. You might be better off to wait and pick some up.
Is antibiotics safe for tattoo healing?

Does bacitracin clear nail fungus?
No. Bacitracin is an antibiotic for bacteria, not for fungus. For a nail fungus infection you need an oral (systemic) medication such as Lamisil tablets. Those who don't want to risk its side effects usually try less effective anti-fungal creams. Some believe that other remedies also work such as vinegar, vicks vaporub, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine bleach or Tea Tree Oil. Some work for some people, nothing works for everybody.
