How Can An Open Wound On The Elbow Be Treated?
two weeks ago I fell on my left elbow and scraped the skin back from the elbow. About the size of a quarter. it bled a little but included a clear liquid. I keep it clean, dry and bandaged but it continues to discharge clear fluid in small amounts. Does not want to heal because the elbow is constantly in flex. Is there a way to address this wound so that it will heal?
