Question 1

why can't i use a liquid bandage over stitches?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: A liquid bandage is essentially a self-curing adhesive which uses the same basic principles as so-called super glues. A special form of acrylate glue is mixed with chemical stabilizers and curatives to form a liquid adhesive which bonds well with human skin. As the liquid bandage dries, it forms a protective polymer shell over the injured skin.

Question 2

can i use liquid bandage 2 years after its expiration date? would it have any side-effects if i use it?

Accepted Answer

Expired bandage: Best not to use it. Expiration dates on products protect the public. It may not be sterile at this point and the chemicals that are supposed to form a polymer suspended in a solvent may have precipitated or become toxic with time. Some bad reactions occur in some cases when not expired.

Question 3

can you use liquid bandage products on a 1/2 -1 inch cut on the top of the head?  or are stitches required?

Accepted Answer

Depends: whether or not you need stitches really depends on the depth of the wound. I would have a trained medical professional examine the wound and determine if stitches are necessary.

Question 4

Question 5

if i had a positive opk this morning, but it was negative 9 hours later,  (no liquid ingested for 2 hours) have i missed my window?

Accepted Answer

OPK: Remember the OPK is usually positive after the fertility window, not before.  It is most helpful to gain information about your cycles, but you should use the dates it was positive to help you time intercourse for next month.

Question 6

my cousin is believed to have chiggers. how do we treat it? how do we stop it from spreading? what should we know about chiggers? do they bury in the skin? (some1 told me yes and that they have picked the bugs out b4). is liquid bandage good to use?

Accepted Answer

WD40: Years ago a during training a faculty member recommended i try wd40 ( a thin petroleum product) for my hunting related bites. It worked so well I have been using it in my practice for decades. It seems to suffice the buggers buried in the skin but it also has an anti-itch effect.

Question 7

how can i remove liquid bandage that has been placed over sutures in the scalp on top of head?  the sutures can't be seen thru the liquid bandage.

Accepted Answer

Do not: remove liquid bandage, it may be in place of sutures, you were given instructions, follow them or call surgeon

Question 8

i always have a mucus type of liquid in my urethra and always have small stains on my underwear in the morn, bu neg. for all tests. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Ambiguous: You don't mention if you're male or female and it does matter. If male, you have urethritis - may be chlamydial, gonorrhea, or non-specific. If female, you may have vaginal or urethral discharge: trichomonal, candidal, mycoplasmal, as well as gonorrhea or chlamydial.  "all" tests are probably not negative.  Go back for more evaluation.

Question 9

my period date have been crossed by 20 days and i have done test got negative ans and even white liquid is also discharging tell me what to do plz?

Accepted Answer

Lets see if this is: Accurate: your period is 20 days late. A hpt was negative and you have white discharge. Reasons for missed / late period include: an anovulatory cycle in which no egg is released, marked v or ^ in weight; eating disorder; over-exercising (endurance athletics), travel, significant illnesses, oral contraceptives ; other meds, illegal drug use, breast feeding, hormone imbalances and medical problems.

Question 10

i am 19 days late. last week i took a pregnancy test, which was a negative. two days ago i started lightly spotting brown liquid. could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Trust the test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctor's office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.
