So not sure if this will work for others but this process seems to be working for me...its now completely clotted and almost closed in a matter of days..
I had a reaction to the tegaderm that was originally put on my sleeve but I think its due to the build up of ink and fluids drying up. I was told to leave it on 3 days, I lasted two due to the redness and swelling purely around the adhesive edges.
However, due to the crease wound being open I was 10 out 10 paranoid of infection so I was desperate to cover it.
I washed the area with anti bacterial soap, dried it thoroughly, put a piece of tegaderm over it (I cut it, shits expensive). Following morning, removed the tegaderm and there was improvement however wasn’t closed enough, repeated cleaning process, let it air dry and air out for a few hours, cleaned it, reapplied tegaderm and removed the following day.
This was the result and I’m super stoked, maybe attending uni and learning a bit about wound care helped me after all 😂
the little pink/red in the crease is actually now ink, not an open cut!
Have another 8 hour session on Tuesday so will upload (hopefully) finished result.
but for now, here’s the work so far..
