Maximum-Strength Pain Relief Ointment, Triple Antibiotic, Soothing Infection Protection, No-Sting Topical First Aid Wound Care for Minor Cuts, Scrapes & Burns, 1 Oz Tube

Not just for basic cuts and scrapes. Neosporin helped with cat bite and scratches. Neosporin is an essential first aid product to have. With triple antibiotic functionality it is great for ordinary cuts and scrapes but as in my case recently for cat bite and scratches too. Yup, I made the mistake of picking up a supposedly friendly stray cat. While in my hands it saw my cat and went wild. To avoid both cats fighting, I held onto the stray for dear life. He bit and scratched me pretty bad. Of course, it was the weekend after hours so I couldn't go to a walk-in or anything but considering how much bacteria a cats mouth and claws have, I immediately reached for the Neosporin. Neosporin was my friend. The clear ointment applied on smoothly. Ointment has a vaseline texture which is silky and hydrating on the skin and spreads easily. Therefore, not much was needed. No sting. No smell. It helped soothe my injuries. Although, I would not say it provided pain relief or any numbing at all. It did help keep infection at bay and in my opinion helped injuries heal faster with less redness and scabing. Too soon to tell if there will be scaring but this product has helped so much that I doubt it. See my pics for before and after using neosporin for 5 days. As you can see, this ointment is doing a superb job.

Works well for many uses. Minor cuts & scrapes

I have bought this more than once and have used it for quite a while. Every time my dog scratches me or I get a small wound or cut, I put it on. It really seems to speed up the healing process. I have never gotten any infections since I started using it. I don't notice pain relief with this because the scratches and wounds don't really hurt since they are minor. I should probably try it on mosquito or other insect bites too. But, the main thing is, nothing is getting infected and it doesn't hurt to put this on the wound.

Great item. I got a wicked burn from a propane pressure valve leak. My index finger took the brunt along with my thumb and middle finger. Keeping burns clean-and moist and the pain reliever for skin together is a great combo.

Ointment formula works well.

My husband had developed a raw blister in his buttock area and I purchased this product at the local drugstore upon the recommendation of the pharmacist. It was more expensive so I found the same product and larger size for a more reasonable price. We live on fixed income and this product works great. He's been applying it for two weeks now and since he had developed a scab, it's finally healing and he says it no longer hurts. He recommends this product.

Not only an antibiotics but also soothes its, & burns ointment!

Neosporin is always so valuable.
