Teevodar Cream for Cuts, Scrapes, and Burns

Cuts​

A minor cut is caused by a sharp object that breaks the surface of the skin, but does not fully penetrate all layers of the skin. 

Some common causes of cuts:

  • Kitchen accidents (food preparation with sharp knives, cutting hand while opening a can lid, etc)

  • Shards of broken glass

  • Contact with sharp parts of vegetation such as thorns and thistles. 

  • Skin tears from minor trauma, particularly in people with fragile, thin skin.

Scrapes

Another word for scrape is abrasion. Scrapes/abrasions happen when skin rubs against a rough surface that causes some skin layers to be rubbed or torn away. Scrapes/abrasions are more likely to happen over bony areas (knees, ankles, elbows, palms) where the skin is thinner, rather than thicker padded areas, but they can happen anywhere on the body.

Scrapes include but are not limited to:

  • “Skinned elbow”

  • “Skinned knee”

  • “Rug burn”

  • “Stubbed toes”

Prolonged pressure on one area can damage and injure skin. This is a type of abrasion.

Burns

A first-degree burns can cause pain, mild redness, swelling, and even peeling of skin. First degree burns do not blister.

Some examples of burns include:

Sunburns

Kitchen burns (stoves, ovens, hot pots/pans etc.)

Hot water/liquid burns 

Medical procedure burns

  • Dermatology (Efudex™ treatment, laser skin resurfacing)

  • Radiation therapy (a.k.a “radiation dermatitis”)

  • Podiatry (toenail removal)

Is there any advice on how to use Teevodar Cream for Minor Cuts Scrapes and Burns on a burn?
For minor burns, run the affected skin under cold water. Then apply a thin layer of the cream on the burn. After applying the cream, you may want to cover the area with a non-stick dressing or bandage, for example a Telfa non-adherent pad, to keep it protected and to ensure that the Teevodar cream will remain in contact with the site.

How should I use Teevodar Cream for Minor Cuts Scrapes and Burns for a cut?
For major cuts with bleeding apply pressure to stop the bleeding and seek medical help if the cut continues to bleed or if it is very deep. For minor cuts, apply pressure to get the bleeding to stop. After the bleeding stops, apply the cream to the cut. After applying the cream, you may want to cover the area with a non-stick dressing or bandage, for example a Telfa non-adherent pad to keep it protected and to ensure that the cream will remain in contact with the site. Depending on the size and location of the cut, a standard Band-Aid can also be used. These usually have a non-adherent Telfa-like pad that will keep the cream in contact with the area, and the Band-Aid can also prevent continued oozing of blood from the cut.
