I had a car accident a couple years ago. A sizeable area of my face suffered from abrasion when the driver side airbag exploded. I could not really put a bandage on the face, and the burning sensation was unbearable. I applied Chap Stick to the wound, which soothed the burning immediately and helped the healing process dramatically. I kept the wound moist all the time with Chap Stick. The wound went away within a week without leaving any marks on my face.

Since then, I've been carrying a Chap Stick in my handbag wherever I go. It does not have antiseptic effect, but I found it works magic on small cuts and wounds. It stops bleeding, soothes burning and helps healing. It also works great on paper cuts. My 2-year old daughter gets rash around her lips from food allergy. I found that Chap Stick works better than Aquaphor.
