Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am allergic to antibiotics and I made the mistake of using a prescription antifungal medication in my belly button which was constantly cracking open after healing following a surgery. By the next morning it was cherry red and oozing pus. Apparently I had reacted to the cream and developed an infection from it overnight. Since I am allergic to antibiotics, it doesn't make sense to go to the doctor unless there is no way I can take care of something on my own. So I used tea tree oil and zinc oxide. I also cleaned it out with hydrogen peroxide every two hours and re-treated. It became extremely painful, but some of the redness went down. It was oozing like crazy. You could actually see the fluid flowing thru the skin. I was desperate and afraid to go to the doctor for yet another antibiotic I would react to, so I ordered the Silver Miracles silver gel and in the meanwhile I tried the CVS silver gel for one day, which might have helped a little, but there was not definitive difference. I received the Silver Miracles silver gel yesterday afternoon and treated it. I came home today and took a picture for comparrison to see how it was doing. Yesterday it was a pretty good deep rosey color towards the top with hard swollen areas and a deep red deeper in the belly button. Today almost everything you can see is a normal skin color and you can see towards the bottom of the belly button it is still bright red. I didn't find any visual evidence of the oozing either. That's an amazing difference in just one day. In addition, you should know that the infection started almost 2 weeks ago and was kind of stuck at a certain point. I was really afraid I was going to have to go to the doctor and risk another serious allergic reaction. I am very hopeful that this is going to take care of the infection. In addition, this product is much more cost effective than the one from CVS pharmacy that cost around $8 for 1/2 an ounce vs this one that cost nearly $12 for 4 ounces. The only thing I would have liked better would have been to have it in a pump instead of a jar, but that's not a major thing and it looks like this is a great product. Update. It has now been a week since I first started using the Silver Miracles gel. It looks so much better. There are no longer any hard swollen areas, blistery areas and there are only the pink cracks that were originally there that I was trying to treat and ended up being the entry point for the infection. If I try to treat it with peroxide now it doesn't bubble at all. The silver seems to kill everything. Another important point. While family doctors typically don't prescribe silver gel and are a bit more stuck on antibiotics or occasionally an antibiotic and silver combo (Silvadene), the Wound Clinic at the hospital actually does use Silver Gel on chronic wounds. Now I don't reommend avoiding the doctor quite like I did as it can be dangerous, but I definitely recommend this silver gel. I recommend having it on hand and if you should develop a minor wound, try it. If you are not getting better within a day or two, have pain, swelling, blisters, red streaks, and/or a fever... go to the doctor. But if you use it and keep it on the wound with a bandage, I don't think you will have a problem.
