Topical antibiotic ointments contain antibacterial ingredients, such as bacitracin. Because these ingredients target bacteria specifically, they're highly effective at destroying many common microorganisms involved in skin infections, such as staphylococcus. However, bacteria aren't the only microorganisms capable of causing infections.

Antiseptic creams contain broad-acting ingredients that help kill various pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. While antiseptic and antibiotic ointments have their place in your home kit de primeros auxilios, an antiseptic is often the better option for general use as it covers more potential sources of infection. However, most of the best antiseptic creams, such as Neosporin, include some ingredients that target nonbacterial germs, making them ideal for disinfecting minor wounds at home.

Any wound that breaks your skin can cause an infection, so it's wise to clean the area with soap and warm water as soon as possible after injury. This also helps remove any dirt that got into the wound, assisting with healing.

After cleaning, allow the area to air dry, or blot it with sterile gasa. You can then apply a thin layer of ointment with antibiotics to the site. Afterward, cover the wound loosely with gauze to help keep it clean.

For minor cuts, it's generally okay to apply an antiseptic cream just once, whereas you may want to reapply up to three times a day for larger wounds, following product directions. Check whether the specific antiseptic is suitable for the type of wound as some ointments shouldn't be used on large or open injuries.

Antibiotic ointments generally last anywhere from a few months up to several years, depending on the product. However, they eventually expire, so it's important to read the packaging and check for an expiration date and storage instructions.

Expired or improperly stored antiseptic creams may not work correctly, leaving you at a higher risk of skin infections. They may also irritate your skin, so it's best not to risk use. Check the expiration dates on products within your first aid kit regularly, and consider keeping a long-lasting antiseptic, such as rubbing alcohol or peróxido de hidrógeno, for emergencies, as these can usually last many years unopened.
