From what I know, some people have suffer a post infection stage from insect bites, leaving them with small red dots for long periods of time after the initial bite. Applying Pure emu oil enhances the healing process and reduces scarring. Emu Oil has been shown to work as a naturally occurring analgesic reduce the itching and pain. Hope this helps.

According to the package (strips) insert: "For newly healed wounds, you may begin using ScarAway as soon as the skin is healed and there is no oozing or crusting in the area. Treatment with ScarAway for post surgical scars may typically begin approximately 1-2 weeks after stitches are removed or when cleared by physician or surgeon for use.

According to my Plastic Surgeon, it will work on raised and/or red scars. It does take a while. The package says to use for six to eight weeks. My surgeon said that I should wear the bandages for 20-24 hours a day for up to six months to receive the maximum benefit. I have used for four months on a large, hypertrophic scar and it has reduced the raised portion by half. The scar is still red, but that is to be expected for the first year.

I do not believe this product is meant to reduce scars. It is a super soothing disinfectant. This is an ionic silver gel that I believe can help heal wounds or prevent infection. This gel in a stronger form is used in hospitals especially on burn victims. A different product named Strivectin-SD is meant to reduce scars. I have used it for several years as it seems to be great for my skin and appears to soften both scars and wrinkles. Good luck...

I absolutely love this product and have used it for more than 30 years. I have never had boils, but I will include an Amazon review here from someone who obviously did have boils.'This is absolutely the best salve in the world. If you have any kind of infection, it will draw it out and heal it. I have used it on my patients staph infections, brown recluse spider bites, boils, etc. It is amazing stuff and never ceases to amaze the doctors who don't believe in it.'It is not recommended to be used in open wounds, but that is primarily what I have used it for because of it's amazing property to draw out infection quickly.

Don't know, but would say it's not the right product. When I spray my house for spiders, I have to be very careful to avoid skin contact from the overspray. I use a respirator mask, long sleeve shirts, long pants, gloves, etc. It "burns" my skin for 2-3 days after inadvertent, light contact.MAYBE, if you let it dry/evaporate completely before contact, it COULD be OK. I suggest you contact the manufacturer. They've been very responsive and helpful for me in the past.

It works best if you put it on straight away. It will still work days later. I just find it more effective if it's done when I've just got bitten. If the skin is broken it will sting so be wary if that.

I am not sure anyone here can give you that answer. The best bet is to contact Mederma directly and ask them. However, I believe this product works best on recent scars.

No- it doesn't do anything for that. Dried up poison ivy fast, but did not help with skin damage where I had scratched.

Only used it on sugar ants, and it was pretty effective. Why kill the spiders; they eat everything else. Of course black widows and brown recluse spiders are in a different category.

Yes, it works with the scar as my husband got scar from chicken pox as well, but you can't apply every night as your face will burn and be more damage.

It has to be ingested to work, since spiders are a predator I doubt it would have any effect on them. Ants maybe, but I think a spray would be more effective

It helped get rid of the redness, which for me was a result of scarring from picking. It great for fading brown spots too. Overall it just made my complexion and tone look more even and brighter. I love this stuff!!!!!

If you carry it on your person and use it IMMEDIATELY (within one minute) it will probably remove some poison. After 3 or 4 minutes the amount of poison removed will be minimal and the extreme suction will probably cause some local necrosis. I used it on a copperhead bite (mine) after 5 minutes and it appears to have done little except I now have a 1/2" diameter blood blister on one puncture mark and will likely loose some skin there.

Ecosmart is a good product. Yes, it will neutralize spider mites. Best done on spray. I use it because it is safe around pets. It also has some staying power long after spraying. As with any pesticide, avoid skin contact. did that once, no damage however, I knew it was there.

It works well to remove warts or skin tags or small moles. However, after using the product a red blister about the size of a dime will result. The blister heals within 7 to 10 days, but a red mark can remain for weeks. I have used this product over several years and it has never left a permanent scar, but you will definitely have a red mark for 4 to 6 weeks. It's up to you if you want that on your face. Good Luck
