Suggest Treatment For Wound On Wrist
I have a place on top of my wrist that the skin peeled back. I have been washing and applying bandaids. The wound looks like it is closing up but now I have about a half inch wide red band reaching to the back of my wrist. What should I use on it? I put Triamcinolone Acetonide cream 0.1% on it.

HI
Well come to HCM
Any wound should never be treated with steroid (Triamcinolone ) but better to apply some antiseptic cream or anti-biotic cream and best would be "Povidone Iodine" ointment, take care and have a nice day.
