Is antibiotic ointment safe to use after microneedling?

heda44
Hi, so I tried microneedling, and applied snail and bee serum afterwards, and sealed it with an antibiotic ointment containing bacitracin Zinc and polymyxin b, mixed in just white petroleum. Is this fine? Will any of the ingredients in the antibiotic ointment cause breakouts?
