What are your thoughts on Bandaid Liquid Bandage?

It works really well for cuts in places that bandaids wont stay on (such as hands and feet). However if the cut is still bleeding, the liquid bandage wont dry very well.  I like using it because I dont have to worry about bandaids falling off or the cut getting dirt in it, plus when doing activities such as swimming, you cant wear bandaids.

No, I haven't used it, but I have wanted to try it instead of surgery.  I wish I knew it worked, but I don't.  I think I'm going to order some to see if it works.

There are new patches that you can use OTC.  They work really great.  They release warmth to the area where applied.  You should them, you can even work with them on.

I had one when I was a teen. My doctor froze it off with liquid nitrogen. I was afraid it would hurt and wouldn't let him do it for like a year. Then, I was soo uncomfortable, I finally let them. It didn;t hurt and healed up so you can't even tell anything was ever there. \n\nI wouold recomend freezing it off now, before your daughter spends too much time limping around.

I assume we're talking about a minor burn and not a 3rd degree, right?\n\nCold running water for 10 minutes or until it stops hurting.\n\nI'm going to disagree with above poster about letting it "breathe".  If I were you, I'd keep anti-biotic cream on it and keep it bandaged.  Infection equals scaring.

I have had many patients with it, but but not in a personal sense as friend/family.\nIts really a nasty bug... the people whom I have cared for had to get wound care for a long time

I disagree with Sean's last sentence.  Many of the times you will not see the spider before you are bit.  I am a prime example of that.  I have no idea where I was when I was bit or when it happened exactly.  I could have rolled over in bed, sat in a chair, whatever.  I have no idea.\n\nAs for your question, I would be curious to know if the kits do work.  I went through a great deal of pain and general discomfort from my bite.  I did not suffer any tissue damage.  I am not sure anything would stop tissue damage from a recluse bite anyway.

Yes i have tried it. Its ok for a little while but i wasnt impressed with it. It also dried out on my head. I mean if you want something thats quick to dull the pain try it, or you can just use Migraine Ice, its the same thing to me.

I have seen a group of people get branded. To be honest they got drunk ...heated up a wire hanger in the shape of the brand and they pressed it up against their skin. They used some dressing like Vaseline afterwards and voila that' it.

Not too much to worry about.\n\nYoung children who get scraped while playing, tend to re-injure that area.\n\nA Two year old is a very active age....No need to remind you of that...smiles.\n\nBefore you put your child to sleep, put a topical antibiotic Ointment on the wound, Cover the wound with a large bandage and and use adhesive tape around the bandage.\n\nChange the bandage in the Morning and continue this process for a few more days.\n\nIf you do not see any improvement, call your Physician for a consult. The Physician will examine the child or call in an Antibiotic to your local Pharmacy.\n\nGood Luck.................. Billy\n\nParent with Medical Training.

i refill trial size sanitizer bottles with rubbing alcohol for trips, purse, etc...to clean public toilets before using, hands, it actually dries faster than the store bought gel stuff, alot of people in the medical field use it straight as well.  its alot cheaper than the gels.  it does seem to dry you out more, tho' . if you have a favorite lotion that you use anyway i say go for it!!!

Depends on how deep the cut is.  If it is just a small, shallow cut clean it off with some cool running water, use some firstaid cream (or equivelent) and apply a bandage after the bleeding has stopped or almost stopped.  Hold a clean cloth or tissue or napkin on it with pressure until then.  If it is really deep (requiring stitches) or if there is tendon injury, you probably better get some medical attention quickly.  The severity is your judgement call and your decision to make.  I wouldn't worry about the paint.  It should be non-toxic.  Just be sure it is clean so you avoid infection.  It is hard to give advice in this form.  Good luck and always cut away from yourself.

I have Adult Onset Primary Immune Deficiency and diabetes. Injuries are life threatening for me. My Immunologyst has me wash with Hibiclens when ever I have open sores. I wash my whole body, following the directions. It even helped a staph infection from an appendectomy.\n\nI bought mine at Walgreens. But here is a web site to get it online.

Duct tape man..\n\nI just had 2, a plantar wart and one on my finger. I used the band-aids with the medicne on them. Compound W works for a while. Then the really inexpensive ones work really well if they are almost gone. Try the OTC kinds of medicnes.\n\n:)\nteddybearthejedi

I wouldn't be embarrassed. Especially since you play a rough sport, not many people can handle that. Show off your bruise with pride! Yay for battle wounds?

I think it is one of the better systems.  Anything that can keep bacteria out and is indisctructable (SP?) is worth getting.  Unless there is a hot babe next to you hydrating you, there is probably nothing better.
