I wonder if 'New Skin' - or whatever it's called - that you use on blisters and small injuries on the surface of the skin would do the same thing? I think depriving the surface of skin of oxygen and moisture is effective on some things. There are even special clear bandages that dermatologists use. They all serve to keep the fingers from the actual site, as well. I keep some the liquid bandage stuff here and use it from time to time. Smells a lot like I recall nail polish remover smelling. Or maybe nail polish, even. Don't they smell fairly strong?
