I Have Had A Cyst Removed And Have A Large

I have had a cyst removed and have a large open cavity 3 inches long, a inch wide and the wound goes all the way to the muscle tissue. My VA doctor said to pack with dry gauze but causes pain on emoval. Can I use an anti-biotic like Neosporin on the gauze to promate faster healing and less pain on emoval or leave it dry ?
