I don't know about the neosporin but the reason they say don't use alcohol is because it takes away all the bacteria including all the good ones which can actually cause it to get more infected. But I use neosporin or polysporin on my peircings all the time and it works fine. However you might not want to use neosporin on tattoos as some of those ointments can take away from color pigments (I know you didn't mention tattoos but just thought I would give you a heads up).
I don't know, but I used to work for a doctor. When I got my belly button pierced, he told me neosporin was fine.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
