Do neosporin help with a yeast infection?

Neosporin is an antibiotic ointment used to prevent or treat minor skin infections. In contrast, yeast infections (also known as candidiasis) are mostly fungal and are typically not caused by bacteria. Neosporin is not an effective treatment for yeast infections and may even worsen the condition. Treating yeast infections usually requires antifungal medications. If you think you have a yeast infection, it is essential to see a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment. Self-treating with inappropriate medications may not only be ineffective but could also delay the correct treatment and worsen the infection.
