Thanks Ginger, I’ll try that! I put some Neosporin on a cut on my arm about a month ago and it ended up getting infected so I’ve been cautious about putting ointment's on my cuts. The cut that got infected was a dog scratch so maybe that’s why it got infected. I also give cuts air during the day and cover them at night. Not only to protect my sheets but because I can do more damage moving around in bed.

@anne4u Any intrusion on your skin [dog scratch, rose thorn, etc] needs to be cleaned thoroughly. And your hands applying the meds also, if you aren't using gloves. Remember that giving the cut time off during the day to air can also lead to more infectious stuff getting in!

It's a never-ending battle, isn't it?
