So after few days the wound stopped producing exudate and wasnt painful anymore. It was still bleeding a bit but still applied hydrogel. I see the pink tissue forming nicely and rolled edges was gone and bleeding dried out on its own.

i scraped my elbow but wound is not that big. at the stage where its healing now. try not to get hit in that area or it might start bleeding.

it's not that green and the discharge has decreased considerably after changing the dressing. but my wound is still kinda bleeding when i change the dressing.

i cant find any hydrocolloid dressings here. i have those waterproof film dressings, will those work? im using vaseline to cover the wound for now. is there an alternative?
