Best OTC Choices in Liquid Bandages
For minor cuts, consider using a liquid bandage — sometimes known as liquid adhesive — to close the wound and help stop bleeding. The seal is waterproof, but the liquid can sting a little when applied and is not suitable for more serious cuts such as lacerations.
