NEOSPORIN is not "GOOD" for EVERYTHING!?

Yes....and peroxide is not good either it can slow the healing process!! My kids Dr said hot soapy water is all that is need for most cuts!! And air.....not all cuts need a band aid on it!! They keep cuts moist and keep the them from scabbing over. He said if need be a band aid the first day after that keep it clean & let it air.

Wound care philosophy has changed we are taught that antibiotic topicals also diminish rate of growth of living healthy skin tissue. We are taught that a moist environment helps normal cells grow as living cells die if they are dry. We are not taught in the simplistic absolutes the nurse stated. An ointment does maintain an underlying moist environment and a cream which is water soluable dries out and doesn't. Hydrogels also are used to maintain a moist environment. Occasionally especially in healthy people an ointment with an antibiotic decreases the bacterial burden of a wound as do silver and other products such as bactroban which is known to be less cytotoxic.

I taught nurses and the IQ level was far below that of doctors. Anatomy physiology in nursing school were definitional courses so they could speak intelligently and barely knew the definitions but not the basic concepts. You cannot understand biochemistry unless you got a good grade in Organic chemistry nurses could not take organic chemistry becaues they did not take a real for science majors inorganic chemistry course. Physiology requires knowledge of Physics and Calculus how many nurses took AP Calculus in High School? Most doctorsd did. Many nurses did not even do well in High school science and Math courses. This of course is not always the case for nurses but in my experience has been for the past 25 years. So they think in absolutes. neosporin bad dry dressing good. Which for many reasons may be appropriate and many inappropriate.

I agree and it will make burns get infected. My husband burned his leg on the pipe of his harley and we used neosporin and it made it get infected. Now it has scarred really bad.

Is Neosporin Bad For You

Yes. Not all at once though. Logic dictates that if a government in power declares one of group people unworthy of life, and makes their living illegal, everything else that you can do alive (everything) becomes illegal.

We work for an oil rig building company...so we do use things like that for everything....but true, true...if it's not dirty it's pointless.
