Xinglin Jinfang wound care ointment function

For daily superficial abrasions, cuts, mild burns and scalds, and superficial postoperative wounds, it can achieve antibacterial moisturizing and reduce the probability of infection under the scab.； Soothes the redness and itching around the wound and reduces the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation ； It has an auxiliary repair effect on mild pressure sores and minor skin ulcers in diabetic patients.

To be honest, when I was doing nursing missionary work in the community, the most common thing I was asked was whether this type of traditional Chinese medicine nursing cream was an "IQ tax." Last month, I met a mother who was dragging me to nag her. Her baby fell on his knee while running in the square, causing a wound that was almost the size of a palm. At first, she only dared to rub it with iodophor and let it dry. As a result, hard scabs formed, and it hurt when the baby walked. It also oozed from time to time. Tissue fluid, later I heard from my neighbor that after using this ointment, the scab softened after three days of application, and there was no more leakage. There was almost no dark mark left after the scab fell off. She came over to ask me if there were any "special ingredients" added to it.

In fact, there is really no mystery. The Phellodendron cypress, catechu, and borneol in this care cream are all ingredients that have been used in traditional Chinese medicine surgeries for hundreds of years to reduce acne and inhibit bacteria. Together with the Vaseline-like moisturizing base, it is equivalent to covering the wound with a breathable "protective film" - both isolation and It eliminates the friction of clothes and the irritation of dust in the air, and allows the wound to maintain a moist healing environment. The recovery speed of the scab is faster than that of dry scab, and it is not easy for the hard scab to pull and damage the new tissue, so the probability of scarring and imprinting is naturally lower.

I have also heard from surgical friends in public tertiary hospitals before that their outpatient clinics do not actively recommend this type of Chinese patent ointment. It is not that the effect is not good, but that many people use it incorrectly. For example, if the wound is already deeply pierced, or pus has accumulated, and you keep applying this ointment to cover it up, it will aggravate the infection. In the end, you will have to go to the hospital for debridement, which will be troublesome. To be honest, I agree with this point of view. If you are really scratched by a rusty iron tool, the depth of the wound is more than 1 cm, or there is fever and pus, it is business to go to the hospital for tetanus and debridement as soon as possible. It is purely a joke to expect that applying a nursing ointment will help.

What particularly impressed me was that I took care of an elderly man who was bedridden at home last winter. There was a red mark the size of a coin on his sacrococcygeal area, which was already on the verge of breaking out. I applied a layer of this with saline every day, and it disappeared within a week. If it really broke out and turned into a second-stage pressure ulcer, it would be the old man who suffered. I also met an old neighbor with diabetes who had a small cut on his heel that didn't heal for half a month. I asked him to control his blood sugar first and apply a thin layer of this disinfectant every day. It healed completely in less than 10 days. Of course, a warning should be sounded here: if the ulcer of a diabetic patient has exceeded the dermis layer and shows signs of pus and gangrene, he must go to the endocrinology department for treatment as soon as possible. He must not apply medicine at home to delay the condition.

Of course, it is not suitable for everyone. I have encountered patients who were allergic to the borneol component in it. After applying it, they developed red rash around the wound. They immediately stopped using it and rinsed it off, and everything was fine. So for the first time, it is recommended to apply a little on the intact skin behind the ears to test for sensitivity. If there is no reaction, use it on the wound.

Overall, this is a very practical supporting role in your home medicine box. Don’t think of it as a miracle cure-all, and don’t think of it as an IQ tax. If you choose the right applicable scenario and use the right method, you can indeed avoid a lot of suffering.
