Hi Doc! I fell off my bicycle while speeding on the road. I immediately cleaned the woulds in the affected areas with some anticeptic liquid and I've applied soframycin in the affected areas. The woulds are not bleeding as such its just redish and the skin has come off. is this a right method I've adopted or would you suggest anything else?
