Suggest Treatment For Painful Swollen Bruising Inside Upper Thigh
A week ago, the inside upper thigh of my jeans ripped near my crotch. The exposed skin rubbes on the other side and its result it a 2 inch long area in which the skin basically rubbed off. It is very painful and the wound sticks to me clothes. Last night, I covered it with gauze and A&D ointment and today, I literally had to rip it off. It s so painful it hurts to walk. What can I do?
Hi, You have to cover it when you wear pant over it. So use a gauze smeared with soframycin ointment, and stick it with a medicated tape. While removing, the gauze would have dried and stuck to the wound, therefore, wet the gauze with water completely. Then remove it very slowly. It would come off without you having to pull it..
