Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I feel very fortunate to have found the reviews of previous buyers, and to have learned about this product. I get painful skin cracks in the winter, at the corners of my thumbs and fingers. Until a few years ago, 3M made a NexCare product in a metal tube for skin cracks, that contained cyanoacrylate. 3M discontinued the tube product and began marketing a product in a glass bottle with a brush applicator. That product is decent (at best) but washes off. The earlier product was excellent. The only thing as good is the surgical adhesive used by doctors and hospitals. It is only available to health care practitioners, and is expensive, about $50 for a small tube. Desperate for a better product, I searched the internet, and found 3M Vetbond. It is a similar surgical adhesive, but designated for veterinary use. Inasmuch as it is made by 3M, many people believe that it is the same product as the old 3M Nexcare product, and possibly the same as the 3M surgical adhesive used in hospitals. I don't claim to know. Although meant for veterinary use, I used it to treat my skin cracks. They are healing nicely. The product does not burn or sting when applied. CAUTION: This is cyanoacrylate, similar to Superglue. Be careful in applying it. Do not touch the application site, or your skin will stick to it. Read the directions carefully as to how to use the included applicators. Most people report using a tiny amount of adhesive placed in the cut, and the sides pressed together, without making contact with the fingers used to press. Other than the caution above, the only problem I have encountered is a slightly increased desire to chase tennis balls.
