Bacitracin zinc ointment can be used to treat mild cuts, wounds and infections on the skin.
We're talking when an infection attacks a small cut or a minor burn for example, and causes pain, swelling and pus.
Bacitracin is effective because it prevents the reproduction of certain types of bacteria, effectively helping your body battle infection.

This antibiotic only prevents bacterial infections.
It will not work for virus or fungus infections. Unnecessary use or
overuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.
If you have a serious skin infection, then you need to see your doctor urgently, as Bacitracin just isn't made to handle a severe infection.
