That thing about being anti-bacterial is true. By simply being a barrier that microbes (and dirt, and water) can't penetrate. For short term wound treatment, petroleum jelly is an excellent barrier for an open wound that's not bleeding. Bandages inundated with it can keep a wound clean in the roughest conditions.

Be sure to drink your Vaseline!

If you put it on a burn it holds in heat and hospitals use a wire brush to scrub it out of burns.

A WHAT-Brush?

So could you keep your hand soft by wearing a glove full of vaseline?

I'm asking for a friend, well I say he's a friend, he's a dickhead.

damn, chasing aliens really took a toll

For real though, my husband has eczema mostly concentrated on his hands and they get real torn up in the winter especially. If it gets really bad, we’ll get him a pack of latex gloves, he slathers on Vaseline and then I help him get the gloves on, and then he sleeps that way. It’s the only thing that manages to make a significant difference. It’s not comfy but sometimes his fingers bleed so we gotta do something.

In the netherlands doctors use Cetomacrogol 1000 (with 10-30% vaseline) or a variant or Bag Balm (less usesd) for people having eczema or psoriasis. It adds disinfectant and hydration properties. Works fantastic

Vaseline is just a barrier that keeps moisture from escaping, it's called an occlusive. I would suggest using virgin coconut oil, shea butter or cocoa butter and having him wear Nitrile or vinyl gloves, latex will break down. Those 3 oils are an occlusive that have natural moisturizing and healing properties. Think of it as lip balm for your body.

Buy some Locobase cream if you have it where you live. By far the most effective thing for my Accutane hands when I was on that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I used to do this too, until I found something more targeted. I also have a sensitivity to common lotion ingredients so can’t use them without making things worse. Unfortunately the petroleum jelly is never absorbed so without the gloves everything you touch gets greasy

Unrelated, but you have any rabbits I could pet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I love early-morning Of Mice and Men references. This is great.

Wonder if her husband ever applies it to her, just asking

It's all fun and games until someone isn't careful with an after-sex cigarette

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

It could really rekindle the old feelings

Vaseline is not flammable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

You can ignite it with compression though, some people do it with pellet guns, it's called dieseling or something like that

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Can enough friction ignite vaseline?

Edit: just looked it up. Vaseline is not flammable.
