Can Antibiotic Ointments Be Used on Open Wounds?

Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments should be applied only to minor wounds that remain closed with a bandage or basic dressing. If a wound does not stay closed, or is deep, punctured, or caused by an animal bite, seek professional medical care instead of using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment.
