Okay, Bag Balm is magical stuff. I’m convinced it comes from Madame Pomfrey or some other wizardly healer.

Or maybe it’s just the lanolin. I don’t know.

I put it on a cracked and bleeding foot, which healed super-rapidly and is no longer dry as long as I keep applying it.

I cut a chunk out of my finger with a butter knife (which takes a special kind of talent, I know). At first I just sterilized it with alcohol swabs, because they were on hand. Then I remembered a story my dad told me about a really nasty gash healing fast because he had his hand deep in sheep wool every day. So I put bag balm on it, and it’s healing.

I’ve had, since October, a sore on my ear from my eyeglasses combined with my bipap mask straps. I decided to try Bag Balm as a barrier cream, and lo and behold, no more excruciating pain. It’s still going to take some healing, but it’s already feeling better, and that helps.
