Suggest Remedy For Bleeding From Wound
I am 74 years old. I fell on the sidewalk yesterday and skinned my knee badly. I ve kept it wrapped with antibiotic cream on it. It continues to ooze blood. A big ooze. It comes through the bandages and wraps. I am now about 36 hours into it. How do I stop the bleeding?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the wound due to the fall. I suggest to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide.
I also suggest to use an antibiotic cream for local application and cover it with a sterile bandage.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
