Suffice to say I got a charge out of that experience and my hair is a lot curlier than it was before. I know Polysporin is not the best for burns, but it certainly reduces the pain. I sure hope Larry knows something about electrical work.

A week of bandages that had to be kept dry was followed by weeks of saline baths and Polysporin. No swimming for No. 1 last summer. Two months later, when it looked like the first toe might soon heal, No. 1 hobbled in to the doctor with bandaged toe ...

Theres a small cut on the side right under the head of the penis. Its been there for a couple days. It never bled or anything. Just sore a bit if I touch it. Its scabbed over but it looks like the skin is peeling a bit. Should I use polysporin ? How do I know if it got infected ? I really dont want to see a doctor about this. Please respect my question and serious answers only please. Thank You.

and on what kinds of wounds would one be used instead of the other.

I'm 15 and I got circumcised about 10 days ago due to tight foreskin problems, yes I realize there was other options. on day 4 I got a really big raging erection and since then there has been 4 little spots of about 4mm long and one was bleeding a little for 3 days after that with little blood clots coming out( I stopped the bleeding on day 7, but it still hasn't healed), the rest didn't bleed they just scabbed over. this morning I woke up and saw that the stitch between two of these spots hav

My cat went to the vet 2 months ago for some blood tests and they shaved her neck. She has since been extremely itchy and since there is no hair to protect her neck so she is bleeding all the time. We have been struggling with this wound for 2 months and we are desperate for any suggestions. We have tried covering her paws so she can't scratch but she always finds a way to get it off. We have tried covering her neck with a homemade cast of gauze and paper towel but when she extends her neck to

im using an antibiotic ointment named Polysporin, it has an inactive ingredient of white petrolium base and active ingredients of bactitracin and polymyxin B. i was wondering if this would effect the overall outcome of my tattoos in any way. i used A&D for my other tattoos, but when i went to buy it, they didnt have any, so i bout the polysporin instead. and ive read that i shouldnt get plastic wrap over the tattoo because it will suffocate the tattoo. i used A&D for my other tattoos, but when

I've been sick for 3 days now and I've finished about 4 kleenex boxes. My nose is completely red and what looks like a rash is starting to grow underneath my nose. I can't use cream or lotion because my nose is just going to burn. Should I use Polysporin? What do I do to heal my nose?!? Thank you! Yeah... I know it's an odd question...

-Vitamin E (capsule, cut open and applied to skin) -Bio Oil -Polysporin -..nothing Thanks!! :)

My dog bit my hand today and broke the skin. its broken in 2 places, one is a circular small tooth hole and the second is larger and weird shaped. the skin is ripped, sort of half-on half-off, flopping around there. i washed it immediately, put on polysporin (the red one) and a bandage. It stings/burns a little, so i changed the dressing, rewashed, etc. i had my tetanus shot abotu 3 months ago, and my dog does not have rabies. when will it stop hurting, and how long will it take to heal? its o

H, I have always had a problem with self harm and I ended taking a razor like I typically do and cutting 10 cuts on my arms 3 on my stomach.1 on my chest.1 in my bikini area and 3 on my leg. I am so ashamed of it I used to cut for when I was in grade 5 and I have been relapsing off and on, I hadn't cut in about 6 months, what is wrong with me? I feel like I don't have coping mecanisms for when I get so depressed and upset so I head straight for the razor you know? Please is that true? I really

My cat has an eye infection. (I know it is an eye infection as he had one a few months ago. I would really rather not incur another 150 dollar vet bill for them to tell me he has an eye infection and prescribe me antibiotic ointment, which he hated). We used to use Polysporin drops with our dogs, on vet advice. Can I do the same for a cat? Is is safe and appropriate to use Polysporin drops on a cat for an eye infection?

Since a few years ago I've had dry flaky skin on my eyelids and underneath my eyes. It's irritating and itchy. I went to a clinic and the doctor provided eczema cream, but it hasn't helped. It's been getting worse, it stings and flakes fall off when I blink my eyes. It's so bad that it sometimes cracks open and bleeds, and it's actually very painful! :p I went to my rheumatoid arthritis doctor for the annual check up and he noticed my eyes, and has since transferred me to a dermatologist. I ha

Ive had my belly ring pierced for a month and im putting polysporin on it, is that ok?

I have had this bump for about 3 weeks now. have had the piercing itself since Nov 9th. I tried polysporin, sea salt soaks (which i was still doing faithfully when this thing started). Then i read about hte wonders of tea tree oil. Trued that. it has gotten smaller, but it hasnt been totally gone in like 3 weeks. I dont want to scar. I also read about making a paste out of your sea salt and water and applying that. tried it. it soothes and dries the skin around it but, thats about it. Hones

long story short, just boiled water was on my thumb for seconds causing a bad burn covering my entire thumb around. It literally melted the skin layers and another part is a huge blister. The outer thumb is a first degree. This WAS ATE 7am. It is still excruciating pain, unbearable without my thumb in water. Tylenol 3 not working either. Im at Mac sick kids hospital because my infants a patient so id rather not leave. But all they gave me is polysporin. How can i treat it without leaving AN

I was using a mandoline earlier to slice tomatoes (those darn squishy things) and I accidentally cut my finger. It wasn't the top, and all that came off was a wee little bit of skin. It's on the pad of my middle finger, and I looked and it went two two layers of skin, barely even touched the layer that has blood in it. I washed it, then dried it and put on a bandaid with polysporin. Will this heal properly so it will be even skin again (not the little dip thats there now) and about how long wi

I have a pimple in my ear up at the top inside the crease. It hurts so bad, i kept touching it but i read that you cant touch it so i washed my ear out with water and then put polysporin on it. the inside of my ear is so red what do i do???? & i know, dont touch it oh and it hurts like ALOT

I'm 14 in 8 days and 30 mins and a boy. I am ALWAYS stressed out and anxious to the point of where I cope with it by chewing and knawing on my fingers between tip and knuckle half way down finger. They bleed, split, crack and are calluced. I'm always so embarrassed when I shake hands with people. I hide my hands in my pockets. I wrap my fingers in bandaids every night. I used 15 bandaids at a time and a lot of polysporin (healing cream). This might be the reason I have depression and no

I have a cut In quite a weird place my ears are unattached so the part between the bottom of my ear lobe and the part joining it to my head has a cut I have had this cut before normally it bleeds and polysporin will heal it however this time it only bleeds when irritated the rest of the time there is a constant clear fluid coming out of it it is very itchy and sore and has yet to scab (it's been about three days) is the clear fluid pus? How can I get it to heal? Do I need stitches? Thanks!

Ok so I have shaving bumps on my face under my bottom lip around my chin area. It seems like I've had them for over 4 months and they haven't gone once. I shave before I hop into the shower. I put warm water on my face, put the blue amp shaving gel on, and shave with a schick hydro. I don't know what to do because it's embarrassing. I heard use neosporin,but I'm currently in Canada so polysporin is the only thing (apparently we do t have neosporin) but polysporin is greasier and worse for ur s

I recently -2 weeks ago- got my nose pierced, and it's started bleeding, and looks, well, not swollen, but there's a sort of bubble under it? I've been cleaning it like crazy, but it just keeps bleeding. I put polysporin on it, and it's doing alright, but will it get better? What do you suggest I do?

I just got my first ever tattoo on my left forearm, I love it to death but the artist told me to use perfume free lotion on it 3 times a day for 7-10 days. I have tried several lotions that "don't have perfume" but they sting like hell so I've been using polysporin for the past 3 days. It seems as though my tat is fading a bit, I'm not sure if this is because of the polysporin or maybe it will get darker once it heals? thanks in advance.

Yesterday i took off my gauze to find alittle bit of pus (i think its pus. Its not yellow but its light brownish). I didnt clean it off because there wasnt alot of it. Instead i applied polysporin. The next day i wake up to see that my entire wound was covered in this brown stuff. I dont know if its a scab or dried pus or something. SOME HELP? - i cant get to a doctor anything i can do at home? Its a scrape but it didnt bleed. Its on my elbow and im letting it air.

So i got a red ear slider about a month ago and the turtle isn't any older then 2 months. He hasn't really eaten anything in about a week and his eyes seem to have a semi transparent or white coating on them. i can tell his eyes are open and see the pupil behind that coating, but i don't know how to get rid of it. someone suggested letting his eyes bathe in a boric acid solution, but how much boric acid do i put (concentration). and does this really work because i do not want to hurt the turt

I know you cannot give animals human medication (i.e. tylenol), but is it okay to use human antibiotic ointment (externally) on an animal? My cat has a scratch on his ear that he keeps aggravating by scratching it further - can I put Polysporin on it to help it heal?

i got my nose pierced on december 3rd and it was fine until 2 weeks ago and it developed a little red bump, ive heard its called a keloid but im not sure, it looks like a huuuge zit right beside my hole. the day i noticed it i put polysporin on it and the next morning it was half gone. but now it seems to be getting bigger. i just soaked it on salty warm water for 5 minutes. ive thought that maybe its an allergy cuz ive been known to be allergic to jewelry. but i dont really have anything else

Hi everyone, I am a 19 year old student and I had a birthmark on my cheek that I was born with however about 6 months ago I went to get it removed from a cosmetic place close by. Anyway the girl could barely speak english but this place had good reviews and she said the birthmark would be completely gone however it isnt. It kind of looks the same.. I am really worried. I got it removed by the electrocution method in which she burned it off. I then used Polysporin (the black one) for two weeks

I while ago i had an enormous,painful whitehead on my chin & i popped it. a scab formed but i accidntally rubbed it off while washing my face. now there is a medium-size pink hole that willl probably be another scar :( ive been putting polysporin on it in the day and a lemon & honey mixture at night. will it totally heal if i prick it with a sterilized needle so that it will bleed and make a new scab? i know its going to be a scar and i already have enough of them on my face :(

My little guys had a bit of greenish/yellow discharge in his eye yesterday and this morning. Then tonight it seemed to get worse (more discharge and one eye looked a lil red + he was rubbing his eyes) all the walk in clinics were closed so we'll head over in the morning. I did some research however and it looks like its the bacterial form of pink eye. My friends son has had pink eye twice and she said she just used the polysporin brand stuff. Any one have any idea if that stuff is just as good

Is it okay to put polysporin on my stretched ear?

On my inner right labia, I noticed a sore white 'head' almost looking like a pimple. And I left it alone for two days hoping it'd go away but it didn't it got bigger and now it has an outer ring of whitinsides darker white inside. I have been applying polysporin to it three times a day for the past 2 days, it helped with the pain but nothing else. I have a small white head again below it and I noticed it a day after the first one, it's gotten a little bit bigger. I havent told anyone and I'm r

Well not a bite. Her tooth scratched my index finger and made a pretty deep cut. She hasn't had rabies vaccine but she's only 13 wks old. We put Polysporin on it though it says not for animal bites or deep wounds. This isn't a bite though. A scratch but with her tooth. I don't want a needle since I am absolutely terrified of needles. What could we put on it or home remedies or what do we do. I'm a 14 year old girl.

I dont really know if its a rash but the corners of my mouth are slightly redish and dry and sore and itchy... I've had it for about 2 or 3 days and ive been putting polysporin on it but it doesn't seem to be getting any better... I just got my tongue pierced (please dont hate, it was a personal choice and its done) and this seemed to start shortly after that I was just wondering if it could be related...? I have never had anything like this and I know its not acne cuz its different... Any

If I apply polysporin or something to an open cut will that help the way the cut heals? And prevent the cut from healing into a scar?

Last night when I was near a trail by my house I could hear cats yelling at each other but I figured it was just a couple of strays. Well, tonight my cat just came in and he has one hell of a bad looking wound on the side of his head, which leads me to believe it was him that was fighting. This is what the wound looks like: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2a66wp1&s=5 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=vdmgs7&s=5 He wasn't crying or anything and he was acting completely normal and purring so I di

I can see white skin in the cracks of my tattoo which I got done on friday. today is monday. Does that mean the ink has gone? I am trying to keep it moisturized now. i am really worried about the ink. i have colors too. i can also see some blue areas right beside the outside shape of my tattoo. should i use polysporin on it?? first tattoo! :D

As everyone should know yesterday was new years. So i was out of course, and i drank to much. So i wake up 8 in the morning on my boyfriends leather couch and my hip burns. Theres one large burn, about the size of my fist, probably a little bigger. and a smaller one a little higher then that but not as a deep colored. I'm assuming its rug burn coz his house is covered in carpet and he tells me i fell off the bed, and he dragged me to the bathroom. When i first noticed it my boyfriend got a col

Some are raised bumps and some are not, but they are swelling my lips, they have been happening on and off for a couple of weeks and they are never in the same spot, but always on the top lip. I have had a cold and the corners of my mouth keep cracking also so have been using polysporin and blistex. But i use both of these often. Any ideas? Im pretty positive that it is not herpes! There is no way that i could of contracted that STD I have also compared pictures of herpes and i do not have th

It went all the way up my foot, and I'm not going to the doc for this lol. I got it out, should I just put polysporin on it?

Last night I cut my thumb open. Long story short, I cleaned it out, applied polysporin and taped on some gauze, although the bleeding didn't fully stop until about 7 hours after the cut. This morning I repeated the process with new material and apart from the slight stinging it's not so bad as long as I don't move the thumb around very much. Now on to the actual question... I just wanted to assure you guys that I have it under good care. I'll be visiting my parents tonight, which means a guara
