Best Answer

If you are using the cream version of Neosporin, that will work great. Be careful using it in large quantities though, or often, because it is a powerful antibiotic and frequent use can make your body less resistant to harmful bacteria.

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.


Is neosporin good to ues on your belly piercing?

It shouldn't really have to use it unless its to help clear up infection or after you swim or something. If you do use it, get the cream and not the ointment. Make sure to rub it in well too. If you put it on too thickly, the piercing wont be able to drain/breathe properly.

Can neosporin take the ink out of a tattoo?

No. Any good tattoo artist will tell you never use Neosporin. H2Ocean is a great brand of healing products for care of tattoos and piercings. While I agree with the last guy on H2Ocean, we sell it in my shop. It is truly great, I use it myself. How ever if the client does not want to spend the 10 bucks on the H2Ocean we wil give them a small packet of bacitration...Why, because a tattoo is a topical wound and like any topical wound should be treated with a antibiotic oinment for the first three days. The secret to using an antibiotic ointment is dont use very much of it... In fact if you can see it on there you have too much...We dont give neosporin away because it contains neomyacin and 3 out of every 100 people are allergic to it....Hope this helps...

Can you get in a pool with fungus?

Sure. Whether it's a good idea or not is a different question. If the pool has fungus, getting in it will expose you to the fungus, which might be bad. If you have the fungus (the question isn't clear which is the case), then getting in it will indirectly expose the other people in the pool to the fungus, which also might be bad.
