I've been cinching up straight cuts for years now using crazy glue or super glue, whichever is on hand. Its always amazed me how the wound, even one as deep as a 1/2 inch, can appear completely healed in the matter of hours. (Next time you get a perfectly straight, no jaggeds, cut then I encourage you to try it!) As a disclaimer I want to say not to ever get any crazy glue inside a wound, it should only be used superficially around the edges of the cut to keep the skin tightly held in place. After a few hours or days it will simply fall off and the wound should mostly be healed by then.
But just last week I put some on a patch of skin covered by sores from poison ivy. I mainly did it to stop the ooze of protein-rich nutrients that lasts for days after it begins to heal. Interestingly enough the poison ivy stopped itching and simply dried up in the next three days while sores elsewhere are still lingering almost two weeks later. I theorize that the body probably rejects the glue-touched skin and begins the natural healing process sooner.
This stuff is tomorrow's gray tape for sure!
