I absolutely love Surgeon's Skin Secret---it is available on QVC or I have seen it at every quilt show that I have ever attended. It does not wash off with water. The cuts on my thumbs are healed in 2 days time. I apply it at night. I have used this for years. I have also used a ton of different hand creams but when I get the cuts on my fingers, I always go to the Surgeon's Skin Secret...
