I always heard it was because Neosporin can be more irritating to the skin.

I was reading archived info on milk blebs and saw the recommendation
to avoid neosporin and to use triple antibiotic instead. Can anyone
tell me why? When I googled it, I found many forums and sites
recommending the use.

TIA
