Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Scraped Knee
I scraped my knee yesterday on concrete and it hurts way more than normal and has a yellow, gooey, wet scab over it. I put some sort of clear anti-infection cream/gel on it from a first aid kit so I m wondering if I should let it heal with a bandaid over it tonight or let it dry out. Thank you so much!

Hi. You have done the right thing by treating the wound.
I suggest you to take a Tetanus toxoid injection and dress the wound in a hospital till the scab dries. Avoid water from falling on the wound
