Best topical antimicrobials according to redditors

Those are a great start! A recommendation I can't make enough is: Silver Solution antimicrobial gel. Similar to Neosporin. It's very very close to the ointment called "Silvadene" (silver sulfadiazine) used to prevent infection following severe burns/injuries. Silvadene is listed in the WHO's Model List of Essential Medicines.

THIS IS NOT COLLOIDAL SILVER

Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver particles in fluid and has potentially deadly interactions with tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics as well as thyroid medications.

Pure water is hypotonic, which means it doesn’t contain the same amount of salt as your body’s cells. It will therefore be very painful and potentially cause serious tissue damage if directly injected. I don’t recommend this. Physicians normally mix drugs with a salt solution called normal saline prior to injection. Sterile normal saline may be purchased easily online.

I honestly get these from my hospital pharmacy. No need to overpay for marketing and glitter, ya knaw.

I’ve also included an article from Costco’s magazine. Yeah , I know it’s a weird place to learn about acne but they have articles about every aspect of daily living. It helps Ed my so maybe I can help you too. :D
