Is your wound progressing towards healing?

All open wounds heal the same way. First, new red tissue builds up from the bottom and then new skin grows in from the edges and covers the red tissue. Your wound will heal fastest if you create the best conditions for new tissue to grow. Keep your wound: clean, warm & moist.
