Does Anyone Have Experience With MediHoney?

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Portland, OR

I ordered some and now I’m a bit unsure of how to use it or when it’s appropriate. I am allergic to adhesive, which is my other concern. Does it stain clothing?

I use it on open wounds; my wound care nurse recommended it. Basically I just take a bit, put it on the wound, and cover it with a bandage. I use Medipore tape to hold bandages in place. I'm very sensitive to adhesives on medical tapes but that brand doesn't bother my skin.

Remember, individual experiences may vary, and it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
