Re: tar removal

I was telling my boss about the mayo and she wanted to know where the reference came from. Does anyone know a nursing/medical journal or book where this can be found? We use SurCleanse to try and clean as much and then silvadene or polymyco to loosen it-does the mayo work better? Just curious always looking into different alternatives.

Re: tar removal

We're using "Liquid paraffin" for removing tar, try it and you will get amazing result without further damage to the skin.

Re: tar removal

We use mineral oil here. I'm surprised there are units that use mayo for burn care. Talk about a huge medium for bacteria growth, aren't our patients compromised enough?
