Cuts in difficult places!

Is that not likely to cause granulation in the wound?

I’ve never had any issues but then again I’ve only used it on fairly minor wounds. It is recognised as a household product that can be used as a styptic. I’ve also used it when our sheep have broken a horn off at the base so it will stop a major bleed if need be.

I always find plasters peel or slide off so I carry medical tape with my plasters now and hold them on with a couple of wraps of that. For deepish cuts I use kitchen towel and a rubber band. I did cut my finger to the bone a couple of years ago and just used kitchen towel and gaffer tape on that which was perfectly adequate. 6 hour wait in A&E and 8 stitches for that one.

I always go for fabric plasters they’ll stay on through at least 2 showers, whereas plastic ones seem to come off at the first hint of water.

Use a normal plaster but snip it so it folds to shape
