Why You Should STOP Using Super Glue on Skin and Cuts

STOP Using Super Glue on Your Cuts and Cracked Skin!

Krazy Glue and Super Glue contain cyanoacrylates (such as ethyl-2 cyanoacrylate and methyl-2 cyanoacrylate). While these adhesives are great for household repairs, they are not safe for skin. Some people also use them for false nails, but this can cause long-term damage to the nail bed and cuticles.


Super Glue vs. Medical-Grade Glue (Dermabond)

  • Dermabond (2-Octylcyanoacrylate) is a medical-grade adhesive specifically formulated for wound closure. It is sterile, flexible, and non-toxic.

 

  • Super Glue & Krazy Glue areindustrial adhesives,not made under sterile conditions and may containharmful additives and contaminants.

Dangers of Using Super Glue on Skin & Wounds:

  • Can trap bacteria, leading to infections
  • Irritates skin, causing chemical burns
  • Can lead to cell death, delaying wound healing
  • Can cause permanent damage to nails and cuticles
  • Hardens skin, making cracks and dryness worse over time

There are safer alternatives! Instead of gluing wounds shut, treat the underlying issue with natural healing products.

Dermabond is prescription only – otherwise people would be using it.

Many dermatologists actually recommend using super glue to seal cut/cracked skin. Sure, some of the ingredients could be somewhat toxic, and you wouldn’t want to slather it all over yourself or get it in yours eyes, but such a small amount is used and the stuff binds and dries so quickly that there isn’t time for a whole lot of anything to “get into the blood stream” before it hardens. I’ve been using it for my severely cracked fingertips for years. No problems. Works great! Stops the pain almost immediately and speeds up healing. This page seems like yet another “naturopath” hippy pseudo-medical site to me.

Thank you ! Using superglue to heel cracked feet is like using hydroxycloroquine or ivermechtin to treat covid. Please disregard those 3 kneejerk braindamaged comments attacking you.
