I have had many skin biopsies because I had a pre-melanoma some years ago.

I developed an allergy to the Neosporin and other topical antibiotics, and the bandaids.
They caused more problems than the original biopsy. And scaring.

So from then on, I can only use aquaphor and latex free bandaids.
If I must use Neosporin, I can only use it for a short period of time.

I have delicate and sensitive Irish skin, like I think you may have.

Check with your doctor or send them a picture.
They should know right away what the problem is.

Of course it could be something else entirely, so contact them.
