My shingles appeared on a Saturday, so I went to a local walk-in clinic. They suggested I use Neosporin on my shingles. For me, it was a bad idea. Instead of the shingles being spots, it is now a solid mass that has expanded, so I went to my GP doctor on Tuesday, who said I should not have put the neosporin on the shingles. The neosporin appeared to inflame my shingles, making them worse. He told me to clean with a very gentle soap like Ivory soap, and use Calamine lotion. I also bought Aloe and a diaper rash cream as suggested on-line. My shingles are on my neck, collarbone, scalp, jaw and cheek, and shingles can leave scars, so I am trying several things.
What else can I help you with?

Can you use neosporin in the entry of the ear canal?
Oh, dude, using Neosporin in the entry of your ear canal is a big no-no. You don't want to go sticking that stuff in there, it's like trying to fix a leaky faucet with duct tape. If you have an ear issue, just leave it to the professionals and save the Neosporin for your cuts and scrapes, okay?
