YES - Neosporin is an anti-biotic proven to help with styes. There are even special brands of Neosporin that are used specifically for eye styes. Avoid a trip to a doctor and buy your own anti-biotic.

If the stye lasts longer than a week, seek medical treatmeHnt. Some styes can be stubborn and may need more care than you can give. Your GP can prescribe a medicine to help ease the pain and rid your eye of the stye.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T SQUEEZE IT. IT CAN SPREAD AND CAUSE EYE PROBLEMS - IF IT WON'T GO AWAY AND GETS VERY BAD - SEE YOU GP INSTEAD

Yes, Neosporin can be used on bugs bites. It will not get rid of the itch but the use of Neosporin will help prevent infection from the bite.

Will it hurt to use the neosporin spray instead of the polysporing ointment?

I had a biopsy of a cyst on my index finger and I was told to use polysporin ointment twice a day to keep it moist. I dont have the polysporing instead i have the neosporin spray. If i use the neosporin spray instead will that do the job or will it hurt or damage the area? thanks for your help. Geraldine
