    So I recently had a bad accident due to the ice. I slammed into a margin on the highway, by the grace of GOD I am still alive, and not paralyzed....I do, however, Have a gah on my forehead...It is approx an inch and a half long and an inch wide, and kind of deep. I went to the hospital and it is to wide tostitch due to the fact the the skin was scraped completely off...I saw a plastic surgeon and he has me following up with him about whether or not ill need a skin graft...I am honestly praying that I can heal up and not need the graft. I started using a Manuka Honey on the scar 2 days ago and I must say it looks a lighter pink complexion....my ques. is How soon can I expect healing???? Is there a less messy way to use it???? What should I looks for as far as the satges of healing?? It stings for about 5 mins after changing the dressing ...is that normal? How long should I expect that?

    Hi Beany, sorry to hear about your accident. It really depends on genes, lifestyle, skin type, and other factors how long healing will take. A less messy way would be to use Medihoney dressings. The stinging sensation is common. The stronger the manuka honey the more chance on stinging. As far as I know it isn't harmful but just a natural reaction to the dermal application of manuka honey. Hope your wound will heal nicely.

    Can you apply manuka honey directly onto a surgery wound with stitches still in (non dissolvable kind) ?? I want to help my wound heal with minimal scarring, and I know that the earlier you use the manuka honey, the better -- but do I need to wait until I remove the stitches?

    Hi Suzywho, according to the Medihoney website the dressings are indicated for the management of various wounds such as surgical wounds.

    There is also mentioned that: "Due to their versatility and lack of toxicity, MEDIHONEY® dressings can be used in all stages of wound healing."

    If you are, for any reason, not sure about it I would recommend for you to check with your doctor. Hope this helps, I wish you good luck with the surgery and recovery.

    Hi, Can you use manuka honey directly on stitches, several days after surgery? Or should you wait until the stitches have been removed before applying honey?

    "With silver sulfadiazine, the most widely used agent to prevent or clear infection in burns, 7% of the patients had infection in the burns controlled within 7 days, whereas with honey 91% of the wounds were sterile within 7 days."

    7% infection rate means 93% effectice at sterilizing wound.
    9% infection rate for honey.

    how would that translate to honey being superior?

    Hi imop45, it doesn't because something is wrong with your argumentation. It's 7% compared to 91%.
