Any time that you get a wound, you should treat it right away. Once the protective skin barrier has been opened up, it’s easy for germs to find their way inside. While most people don’t have any lasting issues with any type of wound, people who have diabetes can struggle.
They can struggle with poor wound healing and more severe complications that people who don’t have this disease. There are plenty of over the counter medications that you can buy that help treat wounds.
However, most of these medications are geared toward treating the wounds of people who are otherwise considered healthy. Those who have diabetes need medication to fight infection that’s geared specifically toward diabetes.
That’s why Dr. Blaine’s Diabetic Wellness MD Total Body Wound Care is a necessary staple you should have in your medicine cabinet. This medication is an antibiotic gel. You’ll find plenty of antibiotic gels that you use that work to keep infections from getting inside the wound.
But ordinary antibiotic gels stop there. They don’t take it a step further like this product does. While this one is great at keeping infections at bay, it adds another layer to what it can do to help you.
This gel works to encourage and speed up the healing process. This way, you’re not dealing with weeks of watching over a wound. Not only does it speed up the healing process, but it promotes the growth of new, undamaged skin and tissue.
This extra step works to fight against the chance that you could end up with an infection from the wound you received. It’s common for people with diabetes to get a wound and have that wound develop into a bacterial infection such as cellulitis.
This is because that bacterial can normally be found on the skin and in the event of a wound, the immune system of healthy people can fight it off and cellulitis doesn’t occur. But diabetics often can’t fight the bacteria that causes infections like that.
Wounds that can’t heal properly can often have serious consequences for a diabetic. This gel can be used almost anywhere on the body – including the hands and face. It’s good for preventative care and for wounds that haven’t responded to regular over the counter treatments.
It can be used to help heal ulcers – especially the kind caused by poor blood circulation, minor cuts, some burns, open wounds and contact skin irritations. It’s highly effective on pressure sores or blisters on the feet. The gel comes in a 1 fluid ounce bottle for home, office or travel use.
