Rubbing alcohol also doesn't fix outside booboos. It causes tissue damage, slows healing, and it's use for cleaning wounds hasn't been recomended for years. It's still good for sterilzing stuff or unbroken skin. Just don't pour it in a wound.

So I guess it actually does have much the same effect on inside booboos as it does on outside booboos. It feels like its helping but really it's just doing more damage and slowing your recovery.

TIL!

Yup, same thing with hydrogen peroxide. Both were found to slow wound healing and provide negligible benefit. Now the recomendation is to wash around (not in) the wound with a mild soap and rinse the wound out well with plain water. Then, if you really want, hit it with some antibiotic ointment and cover it.

Saline rinse is another recommended method of cleaning a wound.

I mean, you can stick sterile saline basically anywhere you want on or in the human body.

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.
