Hello,
Yes, you can use T-bact ointment if you have already started using it.
Superficial abrasion will heal faster compared to deep abrasion. injury over bones take more time to heal. So keep using ointment.
These measures will help your wound heal faster.
1. Kindly keep your wound clean and dry, since an infected wound will take more time to heal.
2. See if there are any contaminants in the wound preventing healing.
3. Wash your wounds with antiseptic solution, dry it with cotton and apply ointment as much as required.
4. Take help from trained nurse or health worker.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Thank you,
