A member asked:
Can my wound heal faster with or without bandage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically: A wound will heal faster in a protected environment under normal circumstances. The wound bed needs to be clean, non-infected, free from dead tissue, without extreme swelling, with proper moisture and free from repeated trauma. Usually clean daily dressing changes after wound cleaning works best.
