A short YouTube monologue advising against routine use of Neosporin (neomycin) for cuts, wounds, and pimples. The speaker warns Neosporin can cause irritation or allergic reactions from overuse and endorses a simpler, purer alternative ("basic tracing") for facial cuts, finishing with an invitation for viewer questions.
I heard great things about Neosporin. Why? Don't you like it? No. No. First of all, look how much shelf space they have at eye level. Because they've been banking on people like you to think that it's the Holy Grail for an infection, a cut, a wound or a pimple. Neosporin, AKA Neomycin, which is an antibiotic, is not the Holy Grail for cuts, wounds and pimples, okay? It's just not. My mom has to throw it from her house. In fact, with Neosporin, you have a higher incidence of getting an allergic reaction or an irritation or even developing a new allergic reaction, which is really not what you want. So overusing it constantly increases your chance and your risk of having that instead. This baby right here, much better bang for your buck. Especially if you have a cut or a wound on your face. Because basic tracing does help. With staph less likely to cause any sort of irritation or allergic reaction, it's simpler. It's pure. It's just basic tracing. And it has my vote. My heart seal of approval. Yeah, that, too. If you have any questions, let me know below.
