  • the armpit (Or where the armpit would be if he had one) part of his arm is a HUGEish cut. it is a scab now but what do I do??? NO VETS!!!! Can a put neosporin on his scab? It is a scab thing now, but a fresh cut but it has red tender skin around it.....HELP!!!!

  • Answer:

    get some hibitane or chlorhexadine soap from the pharmacy.. it's medical grade antibacterial.. wash the area twice daily, rinse well and pat dry. Apply a -thin- film of polysporin/neosporin after each cleansing. keep the area dry. Monitor for signs of infection like redness, discharge and foul odor.
