Sometimes Neosporin doesn't help much, that petroleum base isn't good for
everything. I sugest trying Bag Balm, you can find in at feed stores, farmers
use it on their cow's cracked & bleeding udders in the cold winter to heal them.

I slipped in muddy grass and was thrown into a tree, scraped up my arm from
hand to elbow, big, rough bark, made my arm a bloody mess.

Bag Balm healed it faster than I thought, leaving no scarring, I scar very easily
so that was astonishing to me! It's a little pricey but a little goes a long way.

When I used to have a farm-ish existence (chickens, cows, goats, horse, dogs, 13 cats, etc.) we always had a big ol' tin of Bag Balm around. We put it on ANYTHING that needed something. I use Neosporin in the same way now. If whatever-it-is will hold still long enough, they'll get a slather of Neosporin on whateveritis that ails ya.
