Scrapes on knee and elbow..Need Help Please?
So today I fell off a razor scooter from going too fast. My knee got scrapped and it is now a little swollen..anyone know why? Can it be bruised? I also got scrapped on my elbow and why is the skin in that area white? I've been changing the gauze and applying Neosporin frequently but when I try to give it some air, it stings-feels like its drying up and needs moisture.
Someone please help! Also, how long till it will start to scab up?
TIA!
Answers:
It will sting. Keep the dressing on there, change maybe 2x's a day unless it oozing yucky stuff, then gently clean it w/ H20 and reapply the antibiotic ointment. It will scab over when its ready. At that time you can take off the bandage.
