Jennifer’s Story: The Importance of Treating Burns Promptly

<p>Jennifer, a busy mom of five children, knows all too well the chaos of managing a household filled with activities. From ballet to lacrosse, tennis to swimming, her kids are always on the go. As a registered dietician, Jennifer is committed to providing well-balanced meals for her family, often finding herself juggling hot pans and navigating a crowded kitchen.</p>
<h4><a name="_yo2dkott9i8x"></a><strong>A Painful Accident</strong></h4>
<p>One evening, in the midst of her bustling kitchen, Jennifer reached into the oven and accidentally grazed her bicep on the top. &ldquo;The pain was searing,&rdquo; she recalls. &ldquo;It was so bad I knew it was going to leave a scar.&rdquo; Within a day or two, the burn had developed a layer of soft dead tissue and was weepy. &ldquo;It was a deep burn,&rdquo; she noted.</p>
<h4><a name="_yqg0csjnkaab"></a><strong>The Role of NOxyDERM</strong></h4>
<p>Fortunately, Jennifer&rsquo;s family keeps NOxyDERM around the house. &ldquo;Usually I just use the product for its antiseptic properties. But I remembered that it also contains nitric oxide,&rdquo; she explained. Nitric oxide is a molecule naturally produced in our bodies, known for its many benefits, including reducing the appearance of scars.<br>
 Jennifer began applying NOxyDERM to the burn daily. &ldquo;I used the NOxyDERM each day for a couple of weeks and the burn wound really started looking good,&rdquo; she said. After three weeks of consistent use, Jennifer was amazed by the results. &ldquo;Honestly, I can barely see the scar. In fact, my husband had to remind me that I had gotten burned there. The scar was so faint, I didn&rsquo;t even remember I had done it.&rdquo;</p>
<h4><a name="_b15uz7rgcbgk"></a><strong>A Lesson Learned</strong></h4>
<p>Jennifer is no stranger to kitchen burns. A year earlier, she had burned the top of her forearm in a similar incident. However, at that time, the family didn&rsquo;t have NOxyDERM. &ldquo;You can see the scar on my forearm from that one for sure. I often wonder what it would look like had I put the nitric oxide on it,&rdquo; she mused.<br>
 Burn wounds are notorious for scarring, making it crucial for those at risk—such as restaurant workers, motor or welding equipment operators, and people who use curling irons or steamers—to have a nitric oxide product like NOxyDERM on hand. NOxyDERM not only treats the injury to prevent infection, but also harnesses the power of nitric oxide to reduce the appearance of scars.</p>
<h4><a name="_dly8bkp942j9"></a><strong>A Family Essential</strong></h4>
<p>&ldquo;It really has become the go-to for our family,&rdquo; Jennifer shared. &ldquo;Between all of us, someone is using it for something just about every day. We love it.&rdquo; Like anything you put into a wound, NOxyDERM can sometimes sting if the wound is fresh and the nerves are exposed, so consumers should be aware and may choose to wait until the wound has had a day or two for the blood to clot over the nerves. <br>
 Jennifer&rsquo;s story highlights the importance of prompt treatment for burns and the benefits of having a reliable first aid product like NOxyDERM. Her experience serves as a reminder to always be prepared and to treat even minor injuries with care to prevent long-term consequences.</p>
