Does anyone have experience with MediHoney?

I ordered some and now I’m a bit unsure of how to use it or when it’s appropriate. I am allergic to adhesive, which is my other concern. Does it stain clothing?

I use it on open wounds; my wound care nurse recommended it. Basically I just take a bit, put it on the wound, and cover it with a bandage. I use Medipore tape to hold bandages in place. I'm very sensitive to adhesives on medical tapes but that brand doesn't bother my skin.
