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. Read more
Boy is the pain relief good with it. Cant beat a product like this! My dog gets sores on his little legs from a chicken allergy and the pain relief helps him not bother them or rub the medicine off. And they are finally healing (course he gets no poultry products in food or treats or pill pockets any more! It works great on itchy or achy sore spots on me too. Read more
