Can you use neosporin in the entry of the ear canal?

It is safe to use neosporin in the entry of the ear canal, because the ear is lined with skin. Most MD's would rather you use an antibiotic. If you are a chronic q-tip user, you should lay off and let your natural ear wax build up to protect the inner ear and help drain water, that's what it's there for.

Recommended or not, it is safe to use neosporin. However, be careful not to put it too far into the ear.
