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 dealing with pimples on my face and my doctor has put me on some antibacterial meds and aziderm. I'm getting married in 30 days and I'm really worried about the black spots left on my face. My pre-bridal skincare sessions have just kicked off and I'm wondering if it's safe to use aziderm now. Do facials make things worse though? Any advice would be really helpful.
