Polysporin, or Neosporin? I have seen a lot of reactions to the Neosporin; people react to the Neomycin in the compound and end up with an allergic reaction with redness, skin pain, irritation, burning, swelling, itching, rash, or hives - the skin may weep or develop blisters.
Early on and throughout my daughter's issues, we were vehemently told to avoid the Neosporin because of the above - but Polysporin was ok.
