The Very, Very Common OTC Antibiotics

Bacitracin

You know about this one already, men! Bacitracin is in Polysporin, just like polymyxin B. But guess what? It is used in other ointments too. Yes, even on its own! Men, bacitracin is still great, so great, on cuts, burns, and scrapes. The ointments with it are going to stop infections from appearing. Win. But men? Don't use it for puncture wounds or severe burns. It's not good for animal bites either! And when you're allergic to petroleum jelly or mineral oil? Use something else!

Men, use this ointment 1 to 3 times for the best results. Of course, use it where needed only. Not over large areas! And men? Keep your guard up for allergic reactions. They're rare, but they happen! You'll see hives, breathing issues, and swelling. You already know where the swelling is going to be. Men, watch your tongue, lips, and face! You need emergency attention for these signs.
