I had a bad crash during a triathlon and following the meds working on me I went to my doctor friend. She recleaned (scrubbed) everything, OUCH, then peroxide followed with honey and gauze over.
NO infection using honey, allows excellent skin healing, no scabbing. I had 2 puncture wounds, one was my wedding band into the finger to the bone and no stitches with excellent healing then a hole by elbow that a wooden pencil eraser could be insrted into. Again no stitching with excellent healing. BTW, cinnamon will stop bleeding.
