I would recommend you don't use Neosporin, Polysporin or anything like that on a ear piercing. Soap and water will do just fine. These products are not to be used on puncture wounds (read the tube). If the piercing is infected washing with diluted antibacterial soap and irrigating with water twice a day will make a big difference in about 24 to 48 hours.

Can you use neosporin in the entry of the ear canal?
It is safe to use neosporin in the entry of the ear canal, because the ear is lined with skin. Most MD's would rather you use an antibiotic. If you are a chronic q-tip user, you should lay off and let your natural ear wax build up to protect the inner ear and help drain water, that's what it's there for. Recommended or not, it is safe to use neosporin. However, be careful not to put it too far into the ear.
What if you used neosporin on a piercing?
Well considering it clearly says that in the event of a deep wound or puncture wound you should seek medical advice (it's there way of saying not to use the product on those types of wounds) and a piercing is a puncture wound. I would suggest you don't use it. Neosporin contains neomyacin and this needs the air circulation to work effectively and a lot of people are sensitive to Neomyacin. If you are washing the piercing daily using a good unscented liquid antibacterial soap and rinsing with lots of warm running water while moving the jewellery there should be no reason to use Neosporin on your piercing.

A Tragus piercing is a technically challenging piercing that can't be done without knowledge of the structures of the ear and cartilage. Permanent ear and hearing damage can be done when attempted by novices. Listen use common sense and leave piercing to the hands of professional body piercers who will use aseptic methods and materials to provide the piercing in a safe manner.
