Treatment of minor skin infections including infected cuts, wounds, burns, abrasions, and inflammatory skin conditions where bacterial infection is present or suspected. Commonly used for impetigo, folliculitis, and eczema with secondary infection.
Bacitracin and Neomycin are antibiotics that kill susceptible bacteria by disrupting their cell walls and protein synthesis. Hydrocortisone is a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness by suppressing the local immune response and stabilizing cell membranes.
For external use only. Avoid use on large areas, deep wounds, or for extended periods as this may increase risk of skin atrophy, systemic absorption, and antibiotic resistance. Not recommended for prolonged use or under occlusive dressings. Discontinue use if irritation, rash, or signs of sensitization develop. Consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended before use.
