Derma Sciences31815 Medihoney Dressing Gel, 1.5 oz. Tube

The product is good!

I had a tummy tuck a month ago, and at the very front center, I saw a very small opening about smaller than the size of a grain of rice. It wasn't a deep opening but the point is, I wanted to get to it before it could become a problem. I ordered this stuff and it arrived the very next afternoon. I cleaned my wound, took a q-tip and lightly applied this to the affected area. I then applied a gauze and then covered it with a Poise pad because I didn't have tape and did not want to apply bandaid because the problem area was right above my mons and I didn't want it snagging my "hairs" right there. Within 12hrs it began to close up. I applied it overnight for one more night and when I checked it this morning, it was completely closed up.I think your mileage with this and how soon it works depends on the size of the problem area, and how deep the wound is. For me it worked very quickly because it was very small and I managed to catch it before it could become a real problem.This stuff def works better and faster than newsprint. I also have a small lipo incision near my bra line on my right side, that was healing poorly in comparison to the one I have on the left side. I went ahead and applied this stuff and covered it with a bandaid. I'll be checking to see how it looks in a little while (I applied it 24hrs ago). I could immediately feel it working when I applied it (for the first few minutes it felt really tingly and then it stopped).All in all I recommend this product. It will work on larger wounds and burns too, but may take more time depending on the size and depth.

Helped me out a lot.

I don't think there are adequate words to describe how badly cracked and painful my heels were. Nothing I did before worked. The cracks only got deeper and more painful, more of them began to open up till my whole heels were covered in deep, crater like cracks. It became painful to walk, and some of the cracks had even begun to bleed. It was like everything I did to make the cracks heel did little to nothing to help, and sometimes it even seemed like I was making things worse. I knew about the medical uses for MediHoney to help heal up pressure ulcers and wounds. I found a recommendation for MediHoney on one of those ridiculous buzzfeed type articles with a stupid random number of the most loved items on amazon for treating heels (yes, that was actually an article, and thank the gods some idiot got paid to write that!) This reminded me that MediHoney even existed, so I decided to give it a try, see if it would work for my heels the way I'd read about it working on other wounds. OMG!! Two applications of the MediHoney and there was an immediate improvement. I could literally see the cracks knitting together and the skin around them becoming smoother and stronger. In three weeks time the cracks have all closed up, the skin is smooth. Some of the cracks that were deep enough to scar didn't even scar! This stuff is mana from the gods for your feet! It is sticky; you are putting honey on your feet after all. I bought several pairs of heel socks with silicone gel heels and they were perfect for keeping the honey on my feet and not anywhere else. A little of the MEdiHoney goes a long way, so while the bottle doesn't contain a whole lot in it, it will last you a long while if you use it and store it properly. Do read the instructions that come with it so as to apply it and store it properly. So worth every penny!!!

Honey can be stiff at room temp. After reading reviews of exploding tubes and feeling the resistance, I heated some water - hot not boiling, put the tube in a plastic bag (to avoid getting any water into the product) and put it into the hot water for a few minutes then turned over to ensure entire tube had been exposed to warm water and let sit for a few minutes more. This enabled me to dispense the product. Have only used once so far so I will update in a few days. I'm starting with a four star rating because I expect good results.I never had to heat the product again and have had good success so far. Wound is healing well.

I ordered this for my brother who had seen 60 medical personnel about his ulcerated diabetic leg with massive open wound on right leg in the last 6 months. He was very skeptical about this small tube of medical honey doing anything for him, but after waiting a week decided to give it a try. He first tried it on a separated small spot and was astounded to see that it began to seal up over night. Within two days this small wound healed almost completely. So then he tried it on his giant wound smearing it all over and covering it up properly as directed. What he noticed right away was the wound pain subsided within days and he got off hard narcotics for pain relief. My brother was in constant pain and in and out of emergency clinics for 6 months and all this stopped when he applied this miracle honey all over, which is what they should call it. He told me he would have paid $100 for the tube for what it did and I told him I was sorry I told him the real price...LoL! After a month he is still dealing with a very small wound from the original site that is being real stubborn to heal but is getting there. The rest has healed very well and he's able to walk and work. Please give this product a try! Check out their website, it's catering to medical professionals and institutions and not individuals. This is a very serious healing product. My bro substituted the honey for the useless ointments they had given him to apply. Do not compare this product to anything you've ever come across, it's in a class by itself and is worth far more than $20 per tube! I did order him another tube, but most of the job was done with one tube. BTW, the tube doesn't look anything like the one in the picture. I'll post some pics as soon as I can of the tube. If you're having problems with the price, DON'T! If you know someone with a diabetic wound, get them this stuff for them and they'll never forget you!

I would have loved to try the product, but it came opened. The box was a mess, not sure if this is a returned product by the looks of it.Disappointed for sure.

This is my third tube....I'm making sure I never run out.. Thank you!
