Should I Be Putting Any Type Of Neosporin On My Incisions?

[MissPYT 3]

just curious if i should be putting anything on my healing incisions.... ever since i took off the steri strips they are itching like crazy...(they dont look infected at all)

No, not unless the doctor told you to. Mine ictched to, but just try to deal. If you put neo on them it will make them turn loose quicker than they should. They are holding you closed until you heal, so just try and let them come off in their own time. Likely it's your healing incisions that are itching not just the steri-strips.

there are anti-itch topicals you can buy at CVS or Walgreen stores that will not disturb the closure. Sort of like oral gel ointment.

My surgeon approved using neosporin.

My Dr said absolutely nothing. Just keep it clean & dry.

But all Drs different, give yours a call.

Not unless instructed too. Keep dry and clean.
