Re: Best thing for cuts and scrapes

[ Edited ]

@Kitty Galore  So sorry!  I scraped up knees big time chasing a car down a hill and I used Neosporin.  My scrapes were too major not to leave marks but I have to say I think that really sped up the process of healing and I was in one piece literally after a 2-3 inch gash in about a week.  Sounds like you are not nearly as bad. 

 

I will also second pure aloe if you can find a plant in your supermarket.  My grandmother used it for everything.   Just snap a tip off and it's the same as neosporin consistency.

Re: Best thing for cuts and scrapes

I tend to use A & D ointment for lots of things. I have extrememly sensitive skin & careful not to irritate things.

I use Polysporin (not Neosporin) and A & D ointment.  As a matter of fact I was ironing a couple of days ago and put the iron on end while I fussed with the fabric and it tipped over onto my arm!  It touched me for only a second and I have a 3" burn on my arm!  I've been using Polysporin (especially since the blusters burst) and A & D ointment.....

I do NOT want this thing to get infected.... Woman Frustrated

@Kitty Galore,   I am a fan of Bactine (reminds me of my childhood) but it's great to spray on anytime.  I also use Neosporin which should help with no scarring.  HeartCat Happy
