Should I Use Neosporin?
Hey all, and Happy Saturday!
The sutures on my right hip are still red and puffy and bleeding just a tiny bit. (enough so that if I don't keep gauze on my tshirt sticks to the wound)
Is this something I should just leave alone or maybe put neosporin on? They were red and puffy when I went for my post-op last Thursday and the Dr didnt seem to be concerned but they seem to be a tiny bit worse now. They are not warm to the touch but are tender.
Anyone have any experience with this?

My surgeon likes bacitracin (single sporin - one antibiotic vs. three in it) and says it has less chance for allergic reaction. I would run it by them.

My surgeon said the exact same thing. I also used raw honey.

It was taking forever for neosporin to heal my cut! Doc told my to use Bacitraycin and that literally cleared it up in less than a week. I had a hole in each of my my arm pits (from brachioplasty) about 2 inches big from all sides... Not pretty. Dont know how it did it so quick, but it worked very well.
