Minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and similar minor skin wounds.

Clean the affected area, then apply a small amount of ointment 1 to 3 times daily, as commonly directed.

The labels warn the ointments can be eye irritants, should be kept out of reach of children, and at least one product specifies it is not for children under two.

Antibiotics listed include neomycin (neomycin sulfate), bacitracin zinc, and polymyxin B (polymyxin B sulfate). Topical analgesics listed include pramoxine hydrochloride and lidocaine.

They are offered as creams and ointments, commonly in 0.5‑ounce and 1‑ounce tube sizes.

Several product details state they provide 24-hour infection protection for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.

Pramoxine hydrochloride and lidocaine are listed as topical analgesic/numbing agents.

Label guidance varies by product: one specifies use for children ages 2 and up, while another warns not to use the product on children under 2.
