Buy this stuff for your first aid kit. Mix it in distilled water and a little hydrogen peroxide. Then apply it to your minor wounds. I’ve never healed a machining cut in two days. I can see the cut but it’s sealed and doesn’t have any pain or infection.
Best of all it is 100% painless to apply. I would not recommend other additives like alcohol or as one thing I tried…sodium benzoate. SB is great at preventing infection in foods. However in a previous test that stuff was extremely painful. Worse because you can’t just put your hand in the foscet to remove the pain instantly. It sticks.
For larger issues ass CMC. It makes the stuff thick like honey.
Another great use is for hemorrhoids. CMC+PVA mixed and allied to the anus area soothes the itch and seals any abrasions. I add a little citric acid because it seems to numb the area after an initial mild sting. Just the tiniest pinch of it.
Finally, mix a spoon (the utencil) of CMC and PVA with a drop of HCL or potassium hydroxide to treat moles, skin tags and rashes. You coat the area, it is a bit painful depending on the amount of HCL or KOH. Do it in the bathroom in case you can’t stand the pain so you can immediately jump in the shower to neutralize it. Its really effective as it clings to your skin and melts with sweat reactivating. It works to dry and remove the affected area. This is only for local application, don’t do it on a cut.

WTF!
There’s no rule about joke medical advice that may get people killed, but this seems like a worthy case to make an exception and remove without a rule.

Here’s a skin tag remover which is literally just an acid in liquid form (as opposed to the undissolved salt crystals) theoryskincare.com/…/annilhilate-wart-mole-skin-t…

Quite different of a paste-like solution of a unspecified concentration of hydrochloric acid or caustic soda. From your other comment, with the paper, you either are actively trying to get some random person to burn all their skin down or have no idea how chemistry works.

Here’s another:

There’s like a bazillion entries showing that various PVA foams and crosslinked systems have been used to test for wound dressing.

OK you say that but may I present to you a few white papers supporting my findings as a citizen scientist and actual engineer and hemorrhoid sufferer:
