How Long Does A Wound Take To Dry Up?
I scraped my shin on a wooden box two days ago and I have applied a bandage to it. But everyone I change the bandage there is blood. The blood is not flowing and it is controlled by the bandage. My question is how long does it take for the wound to dry up?

Hello i have gone through your question and appreciate your concern.
It takes around 7 to 10 days for a superficial wound to heal.
it should not get infected.
apply local antiseptic like neosporin powder.
u can also take oral antibiotics like amoxicillin.
wash the wound twice daily with antiseptic solution.
thanks.
u can write me back for any query.
