Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Female | spayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 18 lbs
What human items can I put on my dog to help the healing of these pimples? She keeps cutting open bumps and pimples all over her face at least once a day. Neosporin doesn't seem to be helping it. So I was wondering if there was anything else I can use on her to help it?

I hate to hear that! You can try applying just a dab of coconut oil and rubbing it in very well. In general, keeping her muzzle very clean and dry may help. If the lesions don't clear up significantly within a week or so, I recommend to have her seen by the veterinarian. Sometimes antibiotics and anti-inflammatories are needed. You can also ask about pet safe medicated wipes that may be useful if routinely used. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
