Mycitracin is the best

It is the best ointment for rash, impetigo and ringworm and also neutralizes some suborn itchy spider bites. It is the best ointment by far and now it is nowhere to be found or bought. Meanwhile you find all the second hand topics that don't work and you end up spending a fortune.

Give them something that almost works and then they can go to the doctor for something that has to be issued with a subscription and we c...

Mycitracin

Please- I would love to know where I may buy Mycitracin. NOT Neosporin but Mycitracin. ## Mycitracin is used in the prevention of infection and speeding the healing of wounds.

Please post back if you do. ## Crtstal- Thank You, I will ask my doctor. ## Hooey. It's an OTC ointment. If it now requires a prescription, it's just JJ wracheting up consumer costs needlessly.

Mycitracin Plus

can plus max strength near eyes ## Hi William paliotte, I'm not quite sure what you are asking, are you wondering if Mycitracin Plus strengthens your eyes? Based on my research, Mycitracin Plus is actually used in the treatment of bacterial skin infections and other skin problems. The active ingredients are as follows: Polymyxin B/Neomycin/Bacitracin/Lidocaine. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Mycitracin Details ## Just in case you were wondering, Mycitracin can be found through Amazon and Ebay. More are being imported and are supposed to arrive in a few weeks around Mid Nov. 2014.

mycitracin - where to find?

Where can I find this at? ## Hello, Bart! How are you? Mycitracin was just the original brand name for the product that is now on the market under the brand name Neosporin. So, either it, or any of the store brands or generics contain the same ingredients. The name was just sold and is no longer being used. Is there anything else I can help with?
