Just wondering how long everyone used the neosporin type cream given by Dr S. over the suture areas?   Thanks...

Depends on the surgeon....they all have their own protocol so you need to ask your surgeon, but for me I had to do it for 3 or 4 weeks after my TT and then went to Vitamin 4.  After my breast reduction in Nov 2008 (a different surgeon) I did the neosporin for about 1 week and then moved to scar cream.

I used mine for about 3 weeks until all incisions were closed and crusty scabs gone.
