Is it ok to use Neosporin and peroxide your staple line?

I have one staple line under the left breast area and it is getting a bit red and painful. I want to stop infection before it starts, all of the other places are fine with the exception of the drain site but I am keeping Neosporin on that. Is it ok to use peroxide and Neosporin on it then keep it covered with a clean gauze pad?
