Can Soframycin be used on facial pimples? Will there be any effects if I try it on a pimple? I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this.

Soframycin Use

• Soframycin (Framycetin 1% w/w) is an antibiotic ointment for bacterial skin infections.
• Not recommended for simple pimples unless there's a bacterial infection or severe inflammation.

Considerations for a 15-Year-Old

• Pimples in teenagers are often due to acne, not primarily bacterial.
• Using Soframycin without medical advice is not ideal.

Side Effects and Risks

• Possible side effects: skin irritation, redness, allergic reactions (uncommon).
• Overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance and worsen skin conditions.

Recommendations

• Consult a dermatologist for suitable acne treatments.
• Practice gentle skin cleansing and avoid picking at pimples.
• Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen or signs of infection appear.
