I came across Nutrasporin from 3rd Rock earlier this year when the product launched. I was attracted to it because of its natural ingredients and wellness properties. It worked great on cuts and scratches and even cleared up small psoriasis spots I was diagnosed with.
Two months ago, my son burned himself when he accidentally touched his arm against the a hot lawn mower exhaust. Burns are terrible. They hurt much more than a cut and they take a long time to heal. I know, I've had my share of them.
My mother used to put petroleum jelly on burns so the skin would stay moist. It didn't do much for the healing though. I had heard of silver topical burn ointments and figured I would try Nutrasporin since it is silver-based.
I carefully coated the burn with Nutrasporin. I lightly wrapped it before bed and over the next week applied it three times a day. After one week there was only a small scab and after two weeks it was gone. Today, there is not even a scar.
I was impressed. After seeing these results, I have to say that Nutrasporin is a must have for all medicine cabinets.
