Neosporin for Eczema
Neosporin is a medicated topcial anitbiotic and is NOT made for Eczema
Neosporin Will Help Heal Your Eczema Scratches
I have been a big fan of Neosporin, the ointment, along with the lip care, for many years now. When I have a breakout, especially after a night of sleeping, and I wake up to large scratch marks and cuts, I put this ointment on the spots I feel need it most, and let Neosporin do it's job.
It's best to put this on when before you go to sleep or after you take a shower. Neosporin shows improvements fast. I find that the best time for me to put it on is before I go to bed. That way, you aren't moving around so much and time goes by faster, allowing you to see the improvements even faster.
I do want to say that Neosporin will not heal your eczema or stop your itching--It's only there to help heal your cuts and wounds. Nothing is more painful than to wake up with freshly scratched skin and have to take a shower and feel the pain of the water hitting your skin. You want your scratches and open sores to go away, which is what this product helps do.
Neosporin's Ingredients Will Kill Bacteria On Your Eczema
Neosporin is a mixture of three different antibiotics (Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B) that help kill bacteria on your skin.
The instructions include:
1) Not applying it to large areas or your skin / All over your body
- Which is understandable and common sense
- You really only need to apply the ointment to certain spots of open cuts and sores
- It is not a moisturizer
2) You should not place Neosporin on deep sores, wounds, cuts, etc.
- I just wanted to have this bit of information out, so people are aware that they shouldn't put it on deep areas.
- Only you can decide whether your cut is too deep or not, but I have never had this problem. I just apply the ointment and let it do it's job.
I hope now, you have a new idea to try that was never there before. Neosporin is fairly cheap and definitely worth the time.
Neosporin Eczema Essentials
Neosporin finally came out with an eczema friendly Neosporin ointment. I bought it for about 12 dollars from Wal-mart strictly because I have always been in love with Neosporin as a way to heal up my open wounds.
Eczema Essentials Vs. Regular Neosporin
The regular Neosporin ointment is not made for eczema, however, Neosporin Eczema Essentials is made strictly for eczema sufferers. Unlike the regular ointment, this one can be used as a daily moisturizing cream AND it is filled with collodial oatmeal as a skin protectant. Collodial oatmeal is the one active ingredient in this new cream. As long as I have had eczema and have been doing research on ways to help it, collodial oatmeal always surfaces as an ingredient to help the skin, so it is great that this product puts it to use.
I purchased Neosporin Eczema Essentials with the goal of clearing up the open wounds on my hands. I usually don't break out on my hands, but lately, my hands seem to be getting hit pretty bad. I used it for two nights and even with my still picking at them, my hands were already clearing up.
I view this eczema cream as just a safer version of the regular Neosporin. Although it states that it is a daily moisturizing cream, I would not use it to moisturize my body. I would strictly use it on areas that I would like to clear up.
Other Benefits of Neosporin Eczema Essentials
The top two benefits from this eczema ointment is that.. *drum roll please* ..
- Neosporin Eczema Essentials is Fragrance Free
- Neosporin Eczema Essentials is Steroid-Free
This is a safe to try lotion for anyone with eczema. I believe it is the fourth, but I may be wrong, it is the fourth lotion that I am aware of that is approved by the National Eczema Association. After using it on different areas, I never once had an allergic reaction.
The box claims that this new eczema cream is clinically proven to;
- Restore healthy skin in just 3 days
- Relieve dry and itchy skin on contact

Take care of your eczema
I'm looking for Neosporin for Exzema. I saw a TV comercial and I thought the product was new. I wanted to gtry and get a sample and/or a coupon.
Be aware that we (Humans as well as, more specifically, Atops) can become sensitized to antibiotics — I did –to Bacitracin. So, although the other 2 MAY be fine for me to use, I can't risk aggravating my skin into a flare, using Neosporin. Disappointing too, as the Pain Relieving version also seemed to help when I got those "pin prick" kind of itches.
Right now I'm having moderate success using APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, of all things. I don't know if white vinegar would have the same result, but… I found it by chance, because I didn't have white vinegar at the time I needed to clean the deposits out of a bud vase. After letting the vase stand with the vinegar in it overnight I washed out the vase, and DISCOVERED about a HALF HOUR LATER that a truly sore hangnail was NO LONGER SORE!! Give it a try.
I have been using Seacret Dead Sea Salts with oil. I use it twice a week. It is helping with the inflammation. Still trying to find a cream that works. Tried Eucerin, Gold Bond, Dermasil, Sarna and nothing seems to work. Shea butter gives some relief. I will try the Sappo Hill Soap. Been using Seacret Dead Sea Mud Soap and that has helped. Just found this website and am looking forward to see what works.
I love this neosporin eczema cream and body wash. I have tried everything for my daughters eczema even prescriptions and nothing has worked. Literally HOURS after I put the Neosporin cream on her it was starting to clear up! I was shocked. Her skin looks better then it ever has! I am sooo glad neosporin makes this product I don't know what we would have done without it.
@ Barbara Schultz, I want to refer to the part where you stated you are trying to find a cream that "works." Majority of these creams wont "work" as in "cure" or "get rid" of your eczema. They are only designed to help you maintain control of your skin and moisturize your eczema. As of right now, there is no cure for eczema. But there are products that will help. They may even clear up your eczema as if you didn't have it anymore, be your own "personal cure." But unfortunately, you will always have it and there is always a chance it will surface again. I just wanted to clarify this in case you are searching for the product that will get rid of your eczema. You can only find products that will help surpress your eczema until science one day finds a cure for the disease.
I just bought the Neosporin Eczema Essentials tonight, and I am going to be trying it out during the next few days. I have tried every product out there for my eczema (which has localized to the top of my wrists on both hands), and nothing has seemed to help. Everything I try will cool it for about a minute, and then it starts itching worse than ever. I am hoping this stuff will help! One thing (non medicinally) that has seemed to relieve my symptoms is chlorine. Everytime I get in a pool or hot tub, my eczema is calm for a few hours afterwards. I just thought I would pass that along as an idea for everyone since summer is right around the corner.
IS IT SAFE FOR BABIES? MY BABY IS ALMOST 4 MONTHS OLD AND HE HAD IT ON HIS CHEEKS AND EARS IVE BEEN USING COCONUT OIL BECAUSE HIS PEDIATRICIAN TOLD US TO PUT SOME ON IT TO GET THE MOISTURE BACK ON HIS FACE BUT IT DIDNT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL AND ITS FRUSTRATING SEEING MY SON'S FACE SO RED AND THERES NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT, I DONT WANT TO BUY DIFFERENT STUFF AND WASTE MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NOT WORK
I was not aware that the Neosporin Eczema Essentials Daily Moisturizing Cream has antibiotics in it. If you look at the ingredients it is not listed!
