You do keep it covered with a bandage, right? Do you put anything else on it like antibiotic cream? Once you get wound care specialists involved, you would be amazed at all the different bandages, ointments, healing aids and creams there are. The one bandage they used on me was a $9.50 bandaid. Wow, they were so nice and cushiony, but I couldnt afford them. Now I use gauze pads and a special tape.
