Ken's advice isn't bad, but Duco Cement is a little thick and may not penetrate cracks in broken skin or tissue -- one certainly wants to get an antibacterial solvent in the cracks before the liquid bandage dries and forms a film. Clear finger nail polish is pretty close to thinned Duco Cement (not the newer acrylics but the old fashioned stuff with nitrocellulose in it as the polymer) and would probably work better. BUT, and this is a big but, one wants to make sure that whatever you put on a scrape or cut will have antibacterial and antifungal properties. No sense in cultivating an alien creature under the liquid bandage. I'm not sure how effective the solvents in finger nail polish or Duco Cement are.

Here's a good article on the subject in Wikipedia:
