Does Neosporin Cause Rash Around The Burnt Area?

Hi. I have a healing burn on the underside of my arm (from pulling pans out of the oven) and it has taken awhile to heal. Its progressing but now I have a rash surrounding the burn and it s quite itchy. I ve used Neosporin to help the burn. Could it be a reaction to the Neosporin or something else? Thank you!

Hi,
Usually Neosporin does not cause local rash.
But due to burn wound there might be having some exudation causing this problem.
Clean the wound with warm water and go for proper dressing.
Ok and take care.
