Hello,
* When antibiotic is applied to wound surrounding area, it is the combination of wound exudate, ointment contents as polymyxin, neomycin, body perspiration which gives you gray discoloration of the skin.
* Kindly consult your doc for further guidelines to any alterations in the dressing material usage with or without antibiotics to heal the wound faster pace.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
