Topical antibiotic

A topical antibiotic is like a superhero cream that fights off bad bacteria on our skin. Just like how we wash our hands to clean them, sometimes we need extra help to get rid of germs that can cause infections. Topical antibiotics come in a cream or ointment form and can be put directly on our skin where we have a cut, scrape or other wound. They work by killing off the bad bacteria that can make us sick and helping our bodies heal faster. Just like how superheroes need their powers to fight off villains, topical antibiotics need to be used correctly and as prescribed by a doctor to make sure they work the best they can. So always remember to follow the instructions and ask a grown-up if you have any questions!
