This type of hair loss is not typically permanent.

- Wound CareOne of the most common uses of pure petroleum jelly in Dermatology is wound care. It is a common misconception that you are supposed to let an open wound dry out and scab. Injuries (such as lacerations, abrasions, burns, and surgical sites) heal faster, have a lower risk of infection, and scar better if the wound remains moist with regular petrolatum application. The American Academy of Dermatology talks about using petroleum jelly to help heal wounds and minimize scars. Dermatologists typically recommend using plain petrolatum for wounds rather than topical antibiotic ointments due to the high rates of contact allergies associated with many topical antibiotics.
