Triple antibiotic ointment

A cocktail of three popular antibiotics invented in the 1950s that is synergistically more powerful than any of the three alone or in sequence. Trials have shown that triple antibiotic combo reduces scarring better than double or a single antibiotic. It's an over-the-counter ointment.

Actually, a meta-study of antibacterial agents used by hospitals pointed out the best (topical) antibacterial agent is honey. Bactericides such as this are not used by hospitals at all. They kill your own cells, leaving behind a ready-made food source for the next wave of pathogenic bacteria.

Oh, and honey is cheaper, too.
