Is It Possible To Get Infection After Using Nerosporin?

I recently had a skin graph done on friday. I got two stitches in the area where the sample was taken from. I was cleaning the area with witch hazel and neosporin. I began to experience a lot of pain in the area and a nurse told me to clean it with vinegar and water. She also said to use polysporin instead of the nerosporin. My fear is I m getting a possible infection please help.

Hi,

Consult the dermatologist for clarification of doubt regarding the infection. He may start oral antibiotics if there is really a chance of secondary infection. Otherwise, no treatment may be needed. Do not worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
