Public Service Announcement:
Due to a bizarre garbage can accident (quick: name the movie allusion), I scraped my lip and chin last week, and it took a turn for the worse.
In order to heal with no scar as their advertising claims, I applied neosporin 'round the clock, which resulted in a mean and nasty rash all over my chin.
Turns out, I'm allergic to the stuff.
My doctor said that 15% of the population is allergic to it, and he added the fact that Bacitracin was named Allergen of the Year by the American Contact Dermatitis Society. Kind of the Oscar for itchy scratchy stuff, I guess.
Anyway, it's not all in your mind. You may be allergic.
