I love petroleum jelly.  It helps me a lot with some of the skin problems that I have had encountered. When I was in college, I experienced contact dermatitis (according to the doctor who diagnosed it) in both of my palms which happend after I cleaned the petri dishes that we used in our Microbiology class.  The medicine that the doctor prescribed was not effective so I thought I would apply petroleum jelly on my hands instead.  It did a great job on my palm.   Recently I just experienced itchy eyebrow which eventually wounded some portion of it. I alredy applied topical antibiotics but i noticed that the more antibiotics that I apply, the worse the wound gets. So, I decided to apply petroleum jelly into it, and looking at my eyebrow’s condition right now, I am satisfied with how the petroleum jelly does wonder to me.
