Glenn, Udder Balm is the farmer's version and not FDA approved. Bag Balm is approved. Best Wishes In a message dated 12/6/2008 2:13:09 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi, Two things, first keep the area clean with saline/peroxide (2/3 saline 1/3 peroxide). Then make a tea wash by taking one half cup of water, place a tea bag (no herbal) and nuke for 30 seconds, let the solution set with the tea bag for several hours before using. The tea is used to change the ph of the area which does wonders. I know, sounds like a witches brew, but an RN friend, head of a wound care clinic said it is an old remedy that is being brought back. I usually use a fan for 5-8 minutes after this to completely dry the area. Doctors and nurses won't advise this, or the use of Bag Balm, neither is FDA approved. Going one more step further, use Xenaderm, an expensive cream, but it promotes blood flow to the area. But, keep using Bag Balm as it is anesthetic and antiseptic, helping kill germs and protect the area from urine issues. I'm 42 years post SCI and have seen them all.
