How do you treat granulating wounds?
Once a day cleanse the wound with tap water. DO NOT use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. DO NOT be afraid to wipe the wound carefully and cleanse away any crust that may be present at the wound edge. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline and cover the wound with non-stick (TELFA) gauze and secure it with paper tape.
How do you clean a reopened wound?
rinse the wound under running tap water for 5 to 10 minutes. soak a gauze pad or cloth in saline solution or tap water, or use an alcohol-free wipe, and gently dab or wipe the skin with it – don't use antiseptic as this may damage the skin.
