Wound care: Is it best to leave to air or cover?

Posted by lotsofpain @lotsofpain, Sep 12, 2021

2 separate wounds different parts of body yesterday. Neither bleeding both have sealed / scabbed. Is it best to leave to air / spay plaster to seal from infection / cover with plaster

Well, it doesn’t sound like yesterday was good for you! Two ouches in one day? Usually, as long as the wounds aren’t terribly deep and have scabbed over, nature can take its course for the rest of the healing. How’s the burn you had a few months ago? Has that healed nicely?
