@anne4u I buy 2"x3" sterile non-stick pads. They can be cut down if needed. A bit of the antibiotic ointment or Vitamin E cream right onto that. Then whatever I am using on my wound. Tape down two or three edges of the bandage with cloth tape. Voila!

My latest week old incident is finally looking good. I keep it open to the air all day, covering it at night so it won't weep onto bedclothes.

Thanks Ginger, I’ll try that! I put some Neosporin on a cut on my arm about a month ago and it ended up getting infected so I’ve been cautious about putting ointment's on my cuts. The cut that got infected was a dog scratch so maybe that’s why it got infected. I also give cuts air during the day and cover them at night. Not only to protect my sheets but because I can do more damage moving around in bed.
