Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi. The main aim is to allow the epidermis to regenerate and to prevent infection. Covering with Antiseptic dressing will help prevent secondary infection and it is advisable to keep the area moist preferably with an antibiotic ointment such as in your case, which will help faster re-epithelialisation. so i think your clinician did everything right.
