My doctor used medihoney on a lesion that I've been using triple antibiotic ointment on. It's too early to tell if it's better, but it made me think. Honey has strong antibiotic properties and has even been found in the ancient tombs in Egypt, still in fine shape.
After wading through puff pieces by vendors I found some info from the NIH that indicates it has some advantages over triple antibiotic ointment. Evidently it's made using a specific honey but in a pinch I'm thinking regular honey would be better than nothing as a topical antibiotic.
