I think it depends on what exactly you are talking about. If it is regular acne, then no I don't think it will. But my daughter has some type of infection that she gets from time to time around her nose and upperlip that looks very much like acne. We tried all the acne treatments out there and it didn't help, so we took her to a dermatologist. He said it was the infection (can't remember the name, it was one of those long ones) and that it probably would come back from time to time until her body builds up a resistence. He gave us a cream to use (again, don't remember the name), but we used it up and moved between outbreaks. She just started getting one and I thought I would try Neosporin on it and it seems to be helping, but it has only been two days, so I couldn't tell you that it is going to clear it up the whole way, but it is helping it. So it depends on whether you have a type of infection like this or if it is plain old acne. I would say to try it for a couple of days and see if there is a difference. It isn't like you are going to be hurt by a little Neosporin for a few days.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

No. In fact, it could make it worse, since it's petroleum (grease) based. Putting grease on your face will just make your pores more likely to clog up and cause more acne.
Use a real acne medicine to cure the acne. As for the scars, I don't know if anything works really well. Maybe some of those acid-based scar-reducing peels.

No, you need something more aggressive. Acne is a skin infection. Oral antibiotics can help (you need a prescription). A home remedy is to wash your face 5 times a day with a really strong disinfectant soap (you could even add a little bleach to the water). This is very drying, but you can't have everything. If you are young, your skin will recover pretty well from acne on its own (in terms of scarring). Don't squeeze pimples - let them burst on their own (squeezing them drives pus into below the surface skin channels).

Neosporin is an antibiotic ointment. It is good to heal anything that is infected. I don't think a scar would classify as an infection.I don't think it would help acne either. I have never had acne but I think I would check out products for skin care.

There are actually some cosmetic procedures that will help with acne scarring such as photofacials. The first thing that you should do is get the acne under control. I suggest using Proactiv. When a lot of products failed for me this one greatly helped. It reduced the amount of breakouts to almost nothing.
Hope this helps.
