Hi ,I met with an accident and I had major scratches on my both hands and knee . I have visited hospital and got it dressed and kept the wounds open and applied Cipladine Ointment. I noticed that ointment is forming a layer on my wound as if its a gum and I wonder if my wound inside is healing as it seems to be wet still. I also noticed some pus is forming inside the right elbow area so I gently removed and cleaned it.Also each time I apply ointment it is forming a thick layer. Should I clean it everytime before applying cipladine ointment or is it ok to apply again and again eventhough it is forming a thick gum layer. I assume, that this thick layer covers up my wound and new cells will form inside. I am afraid of the pain if I have to peel off the thick layered ointment.Is this correct or should I change anything ? Please suggest
