I wondered about this when I was home last week.

I thought for sure there had to be something like that here so I didn't get it. Not like I am totally accident prone. well, except last month when I tripped and bit the ground hard in front of the bus stop and scraped my knees and hands

Savlon creme!

Savlon's antiseptic, but not antibiotic.
I dont think there is a Neosporin equivalent... i always have someone bring or send me some from the US.

Sorry I just read this  :

Neosporin is  called Neomycin here  which is perscription only

Edit to add: I've checked my BNF and you can purchase Brulidine and it's the UK version of Neosporin

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

It doesn't say anything that it's perscription only in this book ???

It's because it contains antibiotics.  There are very few antibiotic medicines which are available over the counter here.

Update:  Chemist ordered the Brulidine for me, it is available over the counter, although most chemists dont stock it.

Thanks Alicia!!!

Finally got the Brulidine today, its an antiseptic & antibacterial cream.  (fyi, it was £2.25)

Alicia...does it still work as an antibiotic cream like Neosporin?   :)
