Manuka Honey

Last week I  burned my knuckle on the edge of the oven as I tested to see if a cake was ready to take out. I didn't cleanse or dress the wound and forgot about it. Then earlier this week I noticed redness around the wound and, as my grandparents always did, I doused it with hydrogen peroxide. It bubbled furiously as I repeated the application and finally put a bandage on it. The next day showed no healing, so I repeated the course, and again for the next several days.
 The red ring began to subside, but the center still looked whitish green and continued to fizz under the peroxide.

Peroxide has never let me down before. But apparently it's the wrong thing to apply to burns (or other wounds) according to the latest theories. I bought a small tube of Neosporin and applied it with a bandage yesterday, and this morning nothing had changed. As I poured more peroxide onto the wound I got into panic mode thinking about cancer or MRSA. So I jumped online and read (again) never to apply peroxide to burns. I also followed links to manuka honey, which apparently heals better than antibiotics, which are failing because of their over-use.

I don't have any manuka honey, so I re-applied Neosporin until I can find a source for the honey. This time I didn't apply a bandage.  The truth is, I may have to see a doctor if I can't find manuka honey, and maybe even if I can.
