This cream has worked well for me. I fell in my back yard while cleaning up storm debris, resulting in a three-inch-long area of scratches, scrapes, and a couple of puncture wounds on my forearm from Douglas fir branches. I rinsed the whole area with saline, applied antibiotic ointment and bandages, and expected the injuries to heal rapidly. After a couple of days, I began soaking my forearm in warm water with Epsom salt twice a day. Although there were no signs of infection, the wounds just didn't heal. The whole area remained very sore, and after a few days, dozens of red bumps appeared, which itched constantly. In the past, I've experienced irritation from standard bandages, so I left the area uncovered for a few days. The itching continued, and healing still seemed unusually slow.

I considered going to my doctor, but I knew her clinic would be busy with flu patients, my tetanus immunization was up-to-date, and there were no signs of infection or any serious complications, so I continued with self-care. When I looked online for wound healing advice, I found good reviews for this product, so I tried it, and experienced rapid improvement. Within a day, the itching and bumpiness were virtually gone. With continued use, even the puncture wounds are now almost completely healed. This product has earned a permanent place in my first aid kit.

I had been trying to heal a small but stubborn diabetic toe ulcer on the top of my big toe. Used honey gel, Manuka Honey, triple antibiotic cream and kept it covered for healing. No doubt it was starting to heal at a week and a half of treatment. But each day when I would redress it, I would be disappointed that it wasn't healing fast enough for me. So I ordered this ointment - just the regular and not the max strength. I received it on Monday and within less than 2 days, the wound is no more. Amazing - totally gone and literally no sign of the wound - no redness, no mark to speak of - just gone.

Like I said, I tried all the other recommendations for healing but this ointment is just crazy amazing.

I ordered the small tube and only needed to use a few tiny dabs to complete the healing. Although pricey, it is definitely worth it. I ordered the max strength just to have on hand for any future skin issues. I can easily give this my highest recommendation.

Used Terrasil for the first time 2 days ago on a chronic leg ulcer secondary to venous insufficiency. I had been using a medical honey based wound care product. I experienced chronic and significant pain as well as profound wound exudate and repeated local infections. The amount of exudate contributed to maceration and overall compromise of the surrounding tissue. After 2 days using this stuff I have noted a significant decrease in pain, I can sleep again. I have also noted diminished inflammation as well and a decrease in exudate with corresponding benefit to the periwound tissue. This stuff is not the "golden bb". It will not resolve all your problems overnight and I never expected it to. It has however contributed to vast improvement pain and inflamation as well as local skin integrity in just two days. This, in my opinion, creates an environment for success that will help my body to heal itself and mitigate pain, inflammation, and fight infection while that happems which is exactly what I was hoping for. Very pleased thus far. I expect a prolonged healing time as that is the nature of this beast but I am optimistic that this stuff will contribute to speeding that recovery.

I have had some toes removed recently. I was very upset when I developed an ulcer on a 3rd toe. After 7 weeks of applying this product, I am ecstatic about the results. An alternate product was just barely holding off infection. The affected toe was not completely healing and would occasionally bleed. I even required some prescription antibiotics to fend off a mild infection. A friend told me about this product, a doctor verified it, and I started using it exactly as directed. Within two months, my toe is completely healed! Yes - I am oh so happy! Great product.

Despite numerous emails from sellers prompting me to write a review for Terrasil, I have delayed because the reviews that I find most useful are from long term users. I have been using the Terrasil wound care products for at least 2 years (I think?), so it's time to share my thoughts. It was tough to rate it. In some ways, I would rate it 10 stars if I could. But not so much in others. I will include details so you can decide for yourself if this product is a good choice for you to try. I have CVI (chronic veinous insufficiency) A leg ulcer on my lower shin bled for over two years before I got an accurate diagnosis. Ulcers typically occur in the inner ankle area, so maybe that's why the doctors took so long to identify my problem. I developed other, newer ulcers that were starting to really alarm me. The skin on my ankles, especially the left one, would itch and dry and flake off in chunks. I felt like my ankles were disappearing! My doctor commented "Well, the bone is not showing yet" and referred me to a wound specialist. He prescribed compression socks and told me to elevate my feet at night and whenever possible in the day. He did not recommend a wound care product but I went to Amazon to find a dressing with high ratings. I found Terrasil. Yay! (Thank you Amazon reviewers!!!). At the time, the cost was not a major factor because I hoped and believed that I would be cured pretty fast and have normal feet again. But over time the price of Terrasil has gone up A LOT. While much better, I continue to need some kind of wound dressing so cost is a major factor. I experimented to see if I could just use the compression socks and elevation to maintain my progress. But even one day without the Terrasil caused an instant reversal. (Going without compression socks also causes problems, so in my case, I need the combination.) So I bit the bullet. The holes in my ankles were healed and large chunks were no longer flaking off, so I decided to just be grateful for that and pay for the Terrasil no matter what the price. Until the Terrasil MAX in the tub (screw top jar) was NOT AVAILABLE on Amazon. I panicked! So I tried a tub of the regular strength. That was thinner and did not seem to work quite as well but it was close and definitely better than nothing. Then the prices were so high for the tubs that I tried the tubes (the product I am reviewing) and this is fine except you have to get every last glob out of the tube or you are wasting a lot of money. I have a tube right now that I will cut open with scissors so that I can get more out of it. So that's not great. If you have lots of money you can stop reading, because this may be the best choice for you. But if you don't, then read on. I have a stash of Terrasil right now, but decided to see if I could find some other product that might work as well or even better. At the first sign of a problem, I can always bring out my Terrasil. I tried Aquaphor. Totally useless for my problems, but a nice moisturizer. (I think it made my ankles worse) But then I tried a Medical Honey gel. So far it is working great! I do not want to name a brand because you might reasonably think I work for them. Well, I don't. Besides it is rare for one product to work for everyone. So read the reviews carefully if you decide to try the honey. I did and it appears I may be able to wean myself off the Terrasil. Yay! I don't necessarily recommend honey products if you have open ulcers because it requires more pressure to put it on. (Note that some reviewers do use honey for open wounds though). Right now I have really sensitive red ankles that look like I have a severe sunburn. I also have very dark freckly blotches all over both feet, but that doesn't hurt. I only use ointment on the red area where ulcers might form. An added bonus to the honey is that it is water-based and rinses out of my compression socks. The Terrasil is oil-based and I don't think it ever comes out of the laundered socks completely. It permanently stains them even though we use cotton pads between the terrasil on my skin and the socks. Socks average $60 a pair. Aside from aesthetics and sanitation, I have concerns that oil based products like Terrasil may break down the fibers and decrease the useful life of the socks. Well, that's it for now. Thank you SO much to all honest Amazon Reviewers. Hope this review helps someone. PS I am also soaking my feet in Epsom Salts about once a week now. Seems to help.
UPDATE: After using the Medical Honey Gel for an extended time I conclude that while it is a fine product, the Terrasil is clearly a better choice for my problems. However, I will still use the Honey Gel sometimes as a way of containing costs. Of the products I have tried, Terrasil remains the clear winner. I will update if I discover a viable option that is less expensive.
