Can you rub erythromycin ointment on face abrasions?

If there is an abrasion on the face, erythromycin ointment can be used because it has a certain bactericidal effect, so it can be used on the wound, while the ointment contains a certain amount of petroleum jelly, which can protect the wound. If the facial abrasion is more serious, it is not possible to use drugs on your own at this time to prevent the condition from worsening. You need to go to the hospital’s general surgery, plastic surgery, or dermatology department for disposal as soon as possible, and the doctor will perform regular drug changes and use appropriate drugs for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to prevent sun exposure to the wound as it may lead to hyperpigmentation. Also, attention needs to be paid to the diet, such as trying not to drink drinks containing alcohol and not to eat excessively spicy food, which may lead to itching of the wound and may easily lead to scar growth. Fresh fruits and green vegetables and high quality protein can be consumed appropriately to promote wound healing.
