Can There Be Infection In Scraped Shoulder Even After Applying Tegaderm?
I fell on Friday and scraped my shoulder as well as my knee. I've had neosporin on both and covered them with Tegaderm. The knee is healing great, the shoulder too...BUT on my shoulder I have developed these little red bumps that are itching...almost like little pimples, but they're red and itch. Is it an allergic reaction to neosporin or Tegaderm? I didn't think it would be since my knee is fine? Do you think infection?

From your description it sounds like the tegaderm or the Neosporin could be causing an allergic reaction. Neosporin can frequently cause allergic reactions. I recommend cleaning the area with soap and water cover with a non-adhering dressing and allowing the area to heal naturally.
