I developed Dyshidrotic eczema on my hands a couple of years ago. Check out: [@] Once it was finally diagnosed, I had to find something that would heal the dry, cracked skin without causing more blisters and heal those, too.I tried LOTS of things. Someone recommended carbolated vaseline but they don't make it anymore. Through my internet search for that I discovered Watkin's Petro-Carbo. Its a real MIRACLE for this condition! Absolutely the only thing that helped at all (they had gotten so bad it was embarassing) and my hands look totally NORMAL now! I put it on every night just before going to sleep. I keep it on my night stand and am SO thankful for this stuff!I hope this helps someone else.

So glad to find this product again. I had looked for carbolated vaseline for a long time and finally J.R. Watkins Petro-Carbo. Thanks Drugstore.Com !!!

Great for ingrown toenails and splinters. We call it miracle salve we use it on about every wound,

I bought one of these for myself and one for my Mom, who is never without it in her medicine cabinet. She used this on us since we were little kids, and we are all in our 50's now. It's great for healing cuts, bites, and cracked and dry skin. It was hard to find, until I found out about drugstore.com.

Use the salve on my feet daily to help prevent drying and cracking of heals.

Growing up, this was a staple in my Mom's bathroom. We used it for everything but I especially remember how well it worked to remove splinters. Now that I have a family of my own, I'm so happy I found this product again. It promotes healing and I recently used it on very chafed skin. I used it faithfully for 3 days and by day 4, the chafed skin was healed. Great stuff that is a must have for all generations!

I had an infection under the nail. Nothing was seen of an open sore, and I was thinking I would need to go to the doctor. A friend suggested Watkins salve. I put it on the nail and finger and wrapped it in gauze. Buy morning, the swelling was down and a little bit of blood was on the gauze. All the redness was gone in a couple of days. We will keep this ointment on hand.

As a child my mother would use the brown carbolated vaseline on any scrapes or sores and it would heal them almost immediately. It was super for chapped lips. Then Vaseline stopped making it and we hoarded all the jars that we could find because it was an awesome product. Now I have my own children and one of them had terrible bug bites on her legs from camp and she kept scratching them causing them to bleed and become infected. Neosporin did very little to help so I searched online for carbolated vaseline and found this product. I bought 4 tubs for each my sisters and brothers and they were so excited that I found it. I used this on my daughters legs and within 2 days they were almost gone and in 1 week you couldn't tell that she ever had scabbing infected bug bites. It is great stuff and every household should have this in their medicine cabinets!

I purchase this product when my three children were about 3-5-8 and was so very pleased with the healing quality. I have not been with out it since nor have any of my children been with out and they are now in their fifties. My son just bought a reg. size and a travel size. We all swear by this product which heals, draws puss comforts and puts confidence in the injured person that he will heal and feel better very shortly. An overnight sleep with this Watkins Petro Carbo salve on a bandage does wonders. If possible leave on for another day or so, depending on the injury. My one son had a deep cut when he was small, the Dr. failed to clean the injury and five days later it broke open again and was loaded with puss--hence I cleaned it and applied the salve to a large band aide and brought the sides of the cut together and the very next morning it was healed. It really is WONDERFUL.

I work in construction. In the winter my hands crack and bleed until the spring. If i'm diligent with moisturizer I can make the discomfort bearable This product works as well as any of the 30 or more other procducts I tried in the past. Better than most..
