What Causes An Oozing From A Road Rash After Taking Care Of It?
If a road rash, approx 1.5" by 1.5", is still oozing after 9 days of taking care of it, should I be concerned? It has been washed of debris and kept bandaged (with tegaderm when in water) since then, and there doesn't seem to be any obvious infection.
Hi, As this problem is since 9 days with oozing indicates that there might be haivng bacterial infection. Go for one antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days. Clean the wound with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream locally. Ok and take care.
