    How long to apply neosporin

    Hey guys,

    My BP got a very very very miniscule cut on one of her scales (no idea how it happened) and, even though neosporing wasn't necessary in my opinion, I still put her on paper towels and neosporin just because im ocd like that haha. Anyways, how long should I keep her on paper towels and neosporin? She has had 3-4 days of where I put neosporin on once/twice a day. Any advice? And again, this is very miniscule, with a spot about the size of a dull pencil tip. (Sry, iphone cant take good pics, ill try to get gf's camera)

    Thanks,
    -Andrew

    well, my roommate who breeds balls said its insignificant and he wouldnt even worry about it, thats how small. It takes 2-3 minutes to find it haha After looking at it again, it looks like she just cut the scale and not the skin underneath and got some reddish/brown stuff on it (shes on aspen).

    once the wound closes up then there no need to apply it. should only be a one time thing for a cut. things like belly rot can take a while to 100% close up so those might require more applications
