    Liquid Bandage vs Tape??!! Advice needed!

    So my little egg is developing this bump (31 days through incubation) and the bump is leaking this clear liquid. It's not a big bump, just kinda a little one on the side it's growing on.

    I decided to put liquid bandaid on it, but we went to 4 stores tonight and they don't sell liquid Band-aid brand bandage it seems. They have this stuff called New-Skin liquid bandage, but I wasn't sure if it was safe, so I wanted to ask first before I do something I'll regret later!

    Ingredients:

    8-hydroxyquinoline 1% --- antiseptic
    alcohol 6.7%
    oil of cloves
    pyroxylin solution

    If this mix isn't safe to put over the bump I was thinking of some clear bandage tape like in a first aid kit.

    Is the New-Skin liquid bandage safe to use?

    Thanks! Help is GREATLY appreciated as I do not want to hurt my one and only little egg! <3

    same stuff I used, or you could try the tape with a little piece of paper towel (make shift band-aid)

    Stumped my big toe pretty good last weekend, the tip bent right back. I could have used stitches but refused to go to the hospital. Crazy glue held everything in place pretty decent.
    I've heard nail polish works well on eggs

    Someone told me to use the sticky part of a band-aid so that's what I ended up doing. Dried it off and stuck it on gently, makin sure it was stuck.

    Ended up candling it too since I was in there, lil one was twichin away in there <3 <3 ... 30 more days and I get to see meet him/her! So excited!

    Good luck with that. I will remember that technique if I run into that problem ever. Let us know how the little one hatches out.
