im sure it works great but for years my doctors have been trying to figure out what ingredient in it cause me to have an allergic reaction, many say not all ingredients are listed so id like to know the list so they can figure it out for me! :p

I use this product for many things, not just cut. it is very effective however the price kills me

This product is great--for most people.

The box and insert do not say what most of the ingredients are and one of them is a common allergen... I had the unlucky opportunity to find that out first hand.

I had a simple kitchen knife cut that I applied the ointment to. It burnt at first... I thought that was common. Within an hour the whole entire of my hand broke out in a terribly itchy, burning rash, and the cut itself was leaking pus.

I didn't think it was the product, I thought there had been something on that knife!

It took to going to the doctor's to find out it was the product. I explained that I had used it, he looked at my file, and said, "Well, it wasn't the knife. It was the Polysporin. I've seen this happen often. You're allergic to it."

I think Polysporin is still a good idea, I just wish they'd put on the boxes, bottles, and inserts all the ingredients they use so people with the same allergy (or other allergies to things that are in Polysporin) don't go through what I did!

The one thing I can say--while it may have gotten infected for me, I've noticed it works very well on other people.

If you have any allergies, ask a pharmacist if you can use it first!
