I've been using Triple Antibiotic Ointment for minor cuts and scrapes for years, but I recently read about potential side effects. Given that this ointment contains bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B, I'm wondering if there are better or safer alternatives available over the counter without an adverse reaction on sensitive skin. Or if I just need to be more careful with how I use this product. How does this compare to other antibiotic ointments? Any thoughts or experiences to share?
