Poll of the Day > What do you put on a cut or scrape?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nothing

Neosporin is my go to now. Growing up my family used Bactine and I think my grandfather used Mercurochrome/Merbromin.

A minot cut or scrape doesn't get anything.

minor scrape gets hand soap to get the dirt out (maybe)

Soap. Polysporin and a bandaid if I think there's a significant risk of infection or if it's likely to bleed everywhere.

A bandage if I have one

Running water.

Just some soap and water, then let it dry out and scab over.

small enough, nothing
bleeding enough, clean + a bandaid
bad enough, clean + polysporin + a bandaid

as many claws as i can fit in my deck

Rub some dirt on it, you'll be fine.

Antibiotic cream and a band aid

Neosporin or whatever it is. Usually I dont even bother with that unless it looks kinda bad or my partner wants me to.

So that's why you keep having so many groin pulls.

i'm reminded of the time i scraped my knee. they used that burning hydrogen peroxide. that fucker burned :(.

i always dreaded that shit every single time i got hurt.

i'd like to know cuz I get fissures on my... , anyways, I can't exactly put a bandaid on it

I voted Antibiotic Ointment, but I actually first clean it with hydrogen peroxide, then apply Neosporin.

Normally nothing, but I bought some Neosporin recently for an injury so that I guess.

Where's Neosporin?

The secret is I mix some of my gut flora with the microbes in my saliva to create the ultimate healing kisses.

I keep telling him to try injuring his other body parts for a change, but he never listens.

That's an antibiotic ointment

Rubbing alcohol, then Neosporin, then bandage

i wash it off till it stops bleeding. rubbing alcohol if i suspect something nasty is involved

if it's an obvious gash that's offensive to look at, i slap a bandaid on there, but i'd really prefer not to

I had something similar, although I did it to myself. I had been working out in the yard digging a flower bed and I managed to get a huge blister on my palm and pop it so that I just had a massive raw patch of skin. Since I'd been working outside I wanted to clean it so I dumped hydrogen peroxide on it...ouch.

usually nothing unless it's bad other than wash it

if I feel I need to do something, something like neosporin

growing up we used hydrogen peroxide a lot and I loved the bubbling and tingling and little burn from that lol, though I think I read recently it's not actually very useful

Nothing.
