bacitracin?

Did anyone use a topical antibiotic like bacitracin or neosporin on their incision sites after they started healing? Would you, or does it sound like a horrible idea? Thank you in advance.

I used Neosporin after I showered, on the advice of my doctor.

One of my incisions was mildly infected. I used triple antibiotic ointment on it just for a few days. If it doesn't seem to have any problems there is no reason to use it

I was instructed by my doctor and used antibiotic ointment on my incisions twice a day while they were healing. I started this after the glue came off. They said to switch to Mederma after the incisions are healed to reduce scaring.
