Can You Put Neosporin On Diaper Rash?

The short answer is YES provided if the diaper rash is from bacterial in nature. You should consult with the doctor to see if Neosporin is the right treatment option for your baby’s diaper rash. You can put Neosporin on a diaper rash with just a small amount of it. However, you cannot overdose an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin; and if your baby’s diaper rash is bacterial, putting Neosporin can help.

Neosporin is an antibiotic ointment that contains neomycin, polymyxin, and bacitracin. It is used to stop the growth of bacteria, treat, and prevent minor skin infections, including bacterial diaper rash.

If your baby’s diaper rash is bacterial, Neosporin can help it heal faster while keeping it moisturized. However, before using Neosporin to your baby, make sure to ask your doctor first since Neosporin is not always advisable for babies, especially with sensitive skin.

When buying a Neosporin, make sure to look for the following for safety:

• Expiration date.
• Labeled as Original Ointment.

With a small amount of Neosporin, you can use it to your baby’s diaper rash once or twice a day. Make sure to clean the affected area so that it will be free from dirt before applying Neosporin.

Neosporin is usually tolerated. There are no severe side-effects of using this antibacterial ointment. However, if you notice that the diaper rash is not being treated, stop using it, and seek the doctor immediately.
