I'm trying to figure out which ointment works best for cuts and wounds: Neosporin or T Bact? I've heard different things about both, and I'm not sure which one to go with. Could you help clear up the confusion?

Both Neosporin and T Bact ointments are effective for minor cuts and wounds, but Neosporin, containing neomycin and polymyxin B, has a broader antibiotic spectrum, making it a slightly better choice for preventing infection and promoting healing.

I've been taking Diane 35 for my PCOD, and I also have some skin issues. I'm wondering if it's okay to start using isotretinoin right after finishing Diane 35? Would there be any problems with that?
