### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good product

wonderful for cuts and healing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helped With the Healing Process!
*by B***. on January 23, 2026*

We went to the dermatologist and the Dr said we had two areas that needed attention. So she burned them off, and said to use Polysporin ointment for 10 days. I couldn't find it at CVS so look on Amazon and there it was. We got the tube the next day. It was around $5, plus we needed some of the very small round bandaids. On Amazon of course, so we used both for 10 days. My husband really didn't have any pain on his ear, but I'm a namby pamby 😂. I think this definitely helped to start healing up. Mine was on my face, very close to my left eye. But the Polysporin was EASY to apply, then cover it up. I only had to use a tiny bit and same with my husband. Will buy again!
