Can I use polysporin on shingles?
Polysporin is an antibiotic ointment primarily used for preventing infection in minor cuts and wounds, and it is not specifically designed for treating shingles. Shingles, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, typically requires antiviral medications and may benefit from topical treatments to relieve itching or pain. While using Polysporin on shingles lesions may not harm you, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.
Is it safe to put neosporin on a new lip piercing?
No. Neosporin and Polysporin contain antibiotic agents that can cause trouble for piercings, these agents need air in order to work against infection, however if they get into the piercing they can cause reactions (allergic or hypertrophic) that are hard to get rid of once they start. READ the label: both say clearly in the event of deep wounds or puncture wounds do not use this product.Neosporin contains Neomiacin Polysporin contains PolymiacinThese are not to be used on any piercing under any circumstances.A pharmacist's response:The reason that Neosporin or Polysporin can cause trouble for piercings is that piercings need to be meticulously cleaned every day, and if you just glop on an antibiotic ointment onto this type of wound and leave it, that is asking for trouble.The two antibiotic ointments do not "need air" in order to work--they work only on surface wounds, and here is another source of trouble. Trying to use them on deep or puncture wounds only treats the surface or outer area of these wounds. The only effective method of preventing or treating infection of deep or puncture wounds is with a course of oral antibiotics. (It may be wise to try to persuade your physician to prescribe such an antibiotic regimen to be started right before getting a piercing so that the oral antibiotic treatment continues in the days right after the piercing).Allergies to these products are rare.Neosporin contains three antibiotics--polymyxin, bacitracin, and neomycin. Polysporin contains two antibiotics--polymyxin and bacitracin.I say that there is nothing inherently wrong with using these products on piercings. But they are not the only thing that you should do if you are trying to prevent infection of this type of wound, and since they cannot be used down in the wound, here, as mentioned above, is one source of trouble.Dan, R.Ph.
