Neosporin Ointment 0.5 oz Review

As a busy mom going here there and everywhere (parks, and pools, playdates Oh My!) with two small children under the age of 5 as well as usually meeting up with other mother's and children there are bound to be accidents, cuts, scrapes, stings, bites, burns and hopefully very little blood shed. People may laugh at what I have to have in my purse, but Neosporin is one of the things that I don't leave home without. 

Why don't I leave home without Neosporin?

One day we go to the park where of course there are cuts and scrapes as one of the children fell on the pavement.  A kiss from Mommy didn't heal this boo-boo but Neosporin and a band aid on the knees did and we didn't even have to leave the park. 

Another day while visiting a local strip mall center we stop for ice cream. Opening the door for us, someone actually scrapes the toenail of my daughter causing a cut and bleeding. She is wearing sandal's, after all we do live in Houston.  Do we need to go home? Nope, we simply wash, blow dry and cover with Neosporin and a bad aid.  Overnight. She wakes up the next day and the cut is almost completely healed. 

While visiting a bounce house my daughter accidently gets a "burn" on her elbow while sliding down the slide.  You know it's like a rug burn but on plastic?  Wash, dry, Neosporin and band aid and she is back to normal. This one takes a couple more days to heal than some other mishaps but it works. 

Neosporin has been applied to sun burns, scrapes, cuts, stings burns and more.  Today my 14 year old applied it to her nose, where the skin from a sunburn was causing pain.  

I have 4 children total, and many times there are even more children than that at our playdates.  Knowing I have Neosporin means that my children are cared for, healthy, it cures them quickly and soothes their skin.  Why wouldn't I carry it with me. After applying Neosporin the fun goes one.
