Anybody who recently has gone into the medical field will tell you that one of the things you shouldn't ever do is pour Hydrogen Peroxide on an open wound (broken skin.) So stop that right away. It damages healthy tissues...

"CUTS AND SCRAPES Hydrogen Peroxide, Iodine, Rubbing Alcohol, Mercurochrome When the skin isn’t broken, it’s hard to beat iodine for killing bacteria. That’s why doctors use it to clean an area before surgery. But when there’s a cut, says dermatologist Robert Kirsner, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology, full-strength iodine, hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol can be toxic to skin cells, impeding healing. The chemical reaction (and bubbling) that occurs when hydrogen peroxide hits the skin isn’t only cleaning the wound — it’s killing healthy cells. And that stinging from the rubbing alcohol? This stuff hurts because it’s wiping out healthy tissue.
Putting iodine on cuts and wounds kills bacteria, says VanRooyen, but it won’t clean the wound. “You want to protect the good tissue, and iodine doesn’t do that.” Mercurochrome also kills bacteria, but as the name suggests, it contains mercury, which is toxic, and not generally recognized as safe, says the FDA. Today, doctors don’t use Mercurochrome.
Better Bet Remarkably, cleansing a wound has become much simpler: “The most effective way to get rid of debris and bacteria without damaging healthy tissue is flushing the wound out with water,” says VanRooyen. Put the wound under a faucet, or spray it with the nozzle on the kitchen sink. Flush it with water to clear it of all debris. If you are worried about the bandage sticking to the wound, consider using an antibacterial ointment that contains bacitracin or neomycin to keep the area lubricated."

Since I know you have terrible reactions to things, Zennie Pie, cut out the ointment if you've had reactions to the vaseline in it before. Try something else (the above mentioned) and as long as it's a loose coverage, leave it covered, you don't need to expose it to extra bacteria. The itching is a good sign

Yeah, looks like that smurf took the skin OFF. As long as it isn't getting green/pussing you should be okay. It's probably just having a time healing. I know you and your skin!!! you gotta be careful, woman!!! you have the most sensitive skin EVER

I figured, I meant the vaseline and neosporin! Your skin breaks out to everything. I'm gonna have to buy you super vegan anti smurf lotion for your allergic skins!

You could be allergic to the neosporin or whatever you've put on it. I'm allergic to it. It breaks out in blisters that resemble poison ivy   Even on just an abrasion it happens.
