Medique Products 92812 Liquid Skin Bandage, 10 Pack

Bought for my mechanic daughter who is constantly getting bloody cuts, gouges, bumps, bruises, etc. at work. She likes to keep half in her tool box and the other half at home since she does not go to emergency rooms for accidents. This is her second batch, one of her most important "tools"!

I made the mistake of buying liquid bandage stuff from the drugstore not realizing it was alcohol based and oh, the agony my poor cracked fingers were in. I have very dry skin, especially in the winter, and my fingers crack along the sides of my fingernails which for such a tiny little wound are so painful. This product fills in those cracks without pain and helps my fingertips heal. You get enough little vials to last a couple of years in my experience. I highly recommend this product.

That Cyanoacrilate is doing all the heavy lifting

I tried using this on a fairly bad gash I got from slipping while cutting a watermelon. It was right on the edge of what is recommended for getting stitches (almost .75in long, and almost .25in deep). Luckily it was on a mostly non-mobile part of my ring finger, between two knuckles.I tried using this product on it by holding the wound shut and covering it with the liquid bandage. The wound did not quite perfectly meet together, so it wasn't going to heal very well... Also, the liquid bandage did not hold terribly well. It hardened so much that it started peeling pretty soon after putting it on. I tried protecting the liquid bandage with a regular bandage over top, but all that did was trap moisture which caused it to peel faster. I also tried it with a surgical glove over top, since I often need to wash my hands and every time I washed them, it would cause a little more peeling. The surgical glove also trapped too much moisture.I messed with it quite a bit over the next day or two, and came up with something that worked well for me.First, I took a very narrow butterfly bandage and put it over the middle of the wound to force it to close and for its edges to meet very near perfectly. Then, around the sides of the butterly bandage, I applied a very thin layer of liquid bandage to the outside of the wound. You may be tempted to put it on thick, but that just makes it peel easily. Putting it on thin keeps it somewhat flexible. Finally, if I need to do anything that will get my hands dirty, I'd put on a surgical glove for a bit but take it off when not needed. I avoided getting any water on the wound as much as possible.Before this method, I kept pulling the wound open and resetting its healing. It was open on and off for a good 2 days before I tried the above method. Using this method, it mostly healed closed after another 2 days and within a week it was almost completely healed on the outside. I could tell it still had to heal more inside.

I’m always barefoot or in flip flops. It’s summer, which means I’m swimming in chlorinated water a lot more, which dries my skin. I started developing some deep cracks on my big toes where they were calloused, and every time I walked they cracked a little more. Didn’t matter if I wore a bandaid or wrapped it somehow. I used Gold Bond’s Cracked skin Relief, and again it worked until I walked around. I tried New Skin (original) and it helped, but I had to reapply it often. Then I spilled it 😒…I decided on this stuff because it was the only thing that shipped quickly. I like having smaller bottles, since I’m known to spill everything! It works FAST and stays on for days. It’s super duper sticky, so be careful when you apply it. Start with a thin layer, wait for it to dry all the way (2-5 mins), then apply another thin layer. If you make it too thick, it’ll drip all over. I accidentally glued my toe to a towel! 🤦🏻‍♀️It’s waterproof, sweat proof, and doesn’t smell. I just wish it wasn’t in such a flimsy container!You should see my toe now, after about 5-6 days of using it. Just one more area that needs to heal. ☺️ I’m switching to this instead of new Skin from now on! Maybe I’ll finally be able to get that pedi I need so bad….Hope this helps!

These are the two separate seller feedbacks I’ve left with no response and no resolution from seller. I purchase this product twice a month. Will add to my review.I’ve ordered multiple times only because I can’t find this product anywhere else. Last three times the glue has dried out on every glue stick rendering it useless. No way to request for a new package or refund. So very frustrating. I keep checking for other sellers and once available will never order from here again. If you choose to order that know it’s a 50/50 chance product will be defective.I depend on This liquid skin as I have horrible cuts all over my hands due to them being severely dry from kidney related issues. I got maybe one out of ten liquid skin sticks that was good to use. The rest were either empty due to glue drying out. Or glue coming out through the bottom?? I need to order more but I am very worried that this will happen again. I’d like to request replacement.
