For Bacterial Skin Infection "I burned my finger on a hot tea kettle. I immediately applied a cold pack to it and got some relief, but soon after I removed the cold pack, it began to hurt again. Then I remembered, as a kid, we used to use Bactine for burns. I searched through our medicine cabinet and found a bottle that had to be at least 20 years old. I wasn’t sure it would still work, but I figured it wouldn’t do any harm. I applied it to my finger, and the pain was gone in less than a minute. Wow! Later that night, still no pain, but I applied it a second time just for good measure. That was the last time I applied it, and the pain never returned! Everyone should keep some of this stuff around."
For Bacterial Skin Infection "I have a bad habit of biting my nails, sometimes resulting in a hangnail, and if I don’t watch it, it quickly turns into cellulitis. Only happens with skin breaks in my fingers, I’ve never been diagnosed with cellulitis anywhere else on my body. One infection I had a year ago was particularly bad, the tip of my finger was twice its size, very red and hot to the touch. I couldn’t get into the doctor for a couple of days for antibiotics, so I decided to use Bactine for the pain so I could sleep. The next morning, I was stunned that the swelling had gone down considerably and the redness was almost gone, pain was way down also. I kept using it the following day. Never had to go in to the doctor, it healed! I have been using Bactine faithfully at the first sign of soreness when these infections come up, and I haven’t had a full-blown infection since!"
