If it's not infected you don't need an antibiotic. The use of vitamin E will smooth the skin and reduce the scarring. It will look much better the first time you use it. I hope this helps.Is gentamicin sulfate cream ok to use on your skin. I had foot surgery and my skin is horrible.?

Gentamicin is an antibiotic. It won't help unless your skin is infected. What do you mean ';horrible looking';? Just nasty because it wasn't washed in a while (inside bandages)? Scars and scabs?
