Texas Phil Peeno #50923 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 At the indoor range today to get some practice time before this weekend's pistol qualification. .45 ACP case bounced off the divider and landed inside my glasses burning the skin right above the cheek bone. Any suggestions besides Neosporin to help it heal without scarring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Neosporin works for me. Just keep it moist with the ointment while it heals. Dogmeat Dad Scars are just Tattoos with better stories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I earned my scars and wear them proudly but you can get some vitamin E gel caps, cut them and rub on the wound, it will help with the scaring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 not to worry... the scar will be gone is 20 or 30 years if you keep shaving at it with a razor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Silvadene is the best burn ointment around. I've had that exact same thing happen as well -- gets your attention real fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a 45acp case down the neck of my shirt yesterday, nice 1/2 moon burn on my collar bone. I am choosing to ignore it. As much I want to ignore it I have a full case mark at the bottom of my left eye. The Misus did not like it. I do have two cool stories about my injuries. One is the truth. A hot brass got me in the eye. The other one is that I got in to a fight who gets the last HO HO cake. Darn those PTA meetings. Where do you get this Bag Balm?

Sheriff Oso, SASS #57788L Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 May be a little late now, but some Aloe Vera would have been great if you keep one growing for just such an occassion. The sooner the better. FWIW...YMMV SOso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Taft Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Ya should be able to find Bag Balm at local Walgreens stores or some such.Our local farm stores still carry it....doubt they will ever quit carryin' the stuff. Great for pets and live stock. YMMV with it, but Mom and Grandma swore by it! All I will say is I've still got scars from my misspent youth.......but I lived through it! Used it a lot on horses for sores and cuts. Good results were had......I still got a can around here somewhere. One can might last the average household for years. ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
