The heal-x is a quaternary ammonium product with a fatty acid thats suspended in aloe vera so its not petroleum-based, but thanks for the info!
I've read about it used on a BP with skin issues (one of those vet case studies) before so wasn't too worried about using it.
I just figured it would help a bit with the skin/scale irritation and only applied it once, but will take your advice and won't apply it again.

Managed to get a hold of my vet today (last day before she's off for vacation for a bit---I hate when vets leave!) so he's going in for a check-up at 3 so I'll let you guys know how he is and get that video up then as well.
Sounds good but if you or your vet feels it warrants the Heal X, by all means, keep using it. I just prefer to let an animal heal naturally when possible because I've seen too many minor problems turn into major ones due to human interference. If it starts looking infected, etc. or it looks like the skin itself was broken, then it does need something to stop bacterial growth. The vet visit is also a good idea if nothing else, for peace of mind. I've done that myself and though nothing was wrong, it made me feel better knowing.
