Can Neosporin Be Applied On Clitoris To Heal An Abrasion?

I recently went for a bike ride and seem to have caused an abrasion to my clitoris. It is sore and burns when I soap up. Can I apply neosporin to help it heal? I also gave birth five weeks ago. However,it was a c-section, so I don't think it should matter. I guess I could be wrong.

Hello,

Applying Neosporin can make the skin in the area more sensitive. You can keep the area clean and dry. Use mild soap and water to clean. Wear loose fitting breathable undergarments. The abrasion will heal soon.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
