Can i use neosporin on my recent ear piercing?
I would recommend you don't use Neosporin, Polysporin or anything like that on a ear piercing. Soap and water will do just fine. These products are not to be used on puncture wounds (read the tube). If the piercing is infected washing with diluted antibacterial soap and irrigating with water twice a day will make a big difference in about 24 to 48 hours.
What if you used neosporin on a piercing?
Well considering it clearly says that in the event of a deep wound or puncture wound you should seek medical advice (it's there way of saying not to use the product on those types of wounds) and a piercing is a puncture wound. I would suggest you don't use it. Neosporin contains neomyacin and this needs the air circulation to work effectively and a lot of people are sensitive to Neomyacin. If you are washing the piercing daily using a good unscented liquid antibacterial soap and rinsing with lots of warm running water while moving the jewellery there should be no reason to use Neosporin on your piercing.
