- What is Neosporin Plus Pain Relief used for?
- It is for minor cuts, scrapes and burns. It helps prevent infection and temporarily relieves pain and stinging.
- How is it different from regular Neosporin?
- Regular Neosporin has only the three antibiotics. This version adds pramoxine, a topical pain reliever, for the same wounds.
- Can it cause an allergic reaction?
- Yes. Neomycin, one of its antibiotics, is a common cause of contact dermatitis. Stop using it and see a doctor if itching, redness or swelling appears.
- Should I use it on deep cuts or burns?
- No. It is only for minor wounds. Deep or puncture wounds, animal bites and serious burns need medical care.
- How often should it be applied?
- For adults and children two and older, apply a small amount up to three times daily, cleaning the wound first.
- Can I use it with a bandage?
- Yes. It can be covered with a sterile bandage after application, which helps keep the ointment on the wound.
