When should this be used? I burned my finger about a week ago and it is still an open, fresh wound.

I would check with the doctor's office before putting thi on an open wound.

I wouldn't use on an open wound. I use as instructed by my physical therapist (after breaking my wrist) to put on my scar to help reduce its appearance.

After the skin has cloced. This product is for scar reduction. Not healing of wounds.

I've been using this for wound healing for a few yrs..I had a reculse spider bite that my Dr. said I would need plastic surgery to close up damaged skin wound I put manuka honey on a piece of sterilized cause & taped it to the area that needed healing & it healed is abt a week & when I went back to Dr. he couldn't believe it was healed with honey but this stuff works...just had a couple of basal cell skin cancer removed I did the same put some on a sterilized piece of gauze taped it to my skin with paper tape...at night when I went to bed for one week & it healed the cut (wound) Dr. made to remove the basal cells & it healed without a scar it fused together can hardly tell where the incision was to remove basal cells...I love this stuff it's so natural & I believe it would heal any wound in a short period of time..

i have been treated with silver nitrate twice in wound care, for a deeep flesh wound,, it promotes healing, and doesnt burn..as someone else said..my wounds healed very well very fast too. silver is a very good agent in wound care... :)

I used a gauze tape to keep it on. I used it for protection - I cut off a portion of my finger and had to have a skin graft, so I needed to keep it safe. Taped on securely, it did stay on overnight. I only used it for flying on an airline where I didn't want my metal protection to be a hassle.

PatsyI don't really know why it burns. I had that to happen only 1 time and I think I applied too soon after remover.Since then I remove old polish wash hands and apply Duri--no problem

It should. I personally use it with gauze pads whenever I need to. It really depends on how you wrap it around the area. Hope everything works out well for you. And that your thumb completely heals.

I think you should apply it directly to the wound, then blow on it until it dries, then wrap it. Then it shouldn't do that.

I did this, but I took her to the vet after it healed and it turned out my dog had a fungi. But my other dog did have a sore and it was slightly open, he just did it because he was bored. It will have a stinging sensation to them so they will avoid it.

I don't know. We used it to help heal a severe hand burn - recommended by a physician. Maybe ask your doctor?

I have not used it since only using it twice on a foot injury. Takes at least 6 hours to get to operating temperature.

It will degrade once opened, and also with time. I can't comment on exactly how quickly it degrades but if you are dealing with a wound so serious that you are thinking about using a product like Celox, you will probably want to use it all anyway. If it's to control bleeding for someone prone to small cuts who is taking blood thinning medication, for example, you can get smaller packets.

You can just place it on your skin & rip it off. It brings a little bottle with a liquid to clean your skin after & prevent irritation. Btw you should warm it up with a blow drier instead of your hands. It works a lot better that way.

That use I'm not sure of. Personally, I'd be a little hesitant, since I'm not sure if the waxes would irritate open wounds or not. I'd check with your vet. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I keep it in the refrig after opening. Cover the cut end tightly so it doesn't dry out. I had one in my frig for over two months and it was just fine.I get the big ones, and cut them into sections, freeze all but the portion I'm currently using. Maybe dampen the cut end with some water before covering with foil and then plastic. Once it dries out you can pound nails with it!

I would use bleaching cream instead. This stuff is powerful and burns like fire for a good 20 min. I mean it hurts....bad. it works tho, but for elbow, I think bleaching cream is way better. I've used it for elbows before and it sorted it out in a month.

Good question - I wish I knew the answer. I use mine for my son's surgical scars. You might consult with your doctor to see what he/she thinks.
