How Long Does A Deep Wound Take To Heal?
Hi, I have a cut on the top of my foot from my foot scraping along debris on a dojo mat. A layer of skin came off and the wound is now red and raw the next day. It seems like it has become more raw in the 24 hours after the injury. I applied antibiotic ointment and a bandage. Is there anything else I should do? How long should it be before I start to see it improve?
