I would suggest steering clear of any antibiotic ointments in general if you can help it.
One of the better methods you could use to heal your ears and keep them clean is sea salt water (Sea Salt Soak [SSS]).
There are also good piercing aftercare soaps out there that are very gentle on the skin. I have a vegan soap by Naked. It's AWESOME, and I love the smell. Like a clean, citrusy scent. Of course, if you decide to use a aftercare soap, buy yourself an oil to help moisturize your skin in return, or else your skin will tighten and dry out.

Thank you very much ! Is it dangerous to never wash my holes ?

Not washing lobes means keeping bad bacteria on the lobes.
If you really don't want to use a soap or sea salt water on your ears, you can at least rinse them with warm water. The warmest you can tolerate (without pain or discomfort) so that it can clean everything out. Some people do that and it works fine, but remember that it doesn't work for everyone. Some people have to do SSS or use aftercare soaps, or else they risk infection.
And not doing some kind of cleaning will also make your fistulas stink. Yuck. No one likes stinky lobes. </3
