Used for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and skin abrasions to help prevent infection and relieve pain associated with these minor skin injuries.

The three antibiotics (bacitracin, neomycin, polymyxin B) work together to inhibit or kill bacteria commonly found on minor skin wounds, while lidocaine provides localized numbing by blocking nerve signals in the affected area.

For external use only; avoid applying to large areas of damaged skin, deep wounds, or animal bites. Not recommended for prolonged use. Discontinue and consult a healthcare provider if allergic reaction, rash, or worsening symptoms occur. Neomycin may cause skin sensitization in some individuals.
