What happens if you put hydrocolloid bandage on a small infected eczema area? would it heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more help: First, if, in fact it is infected, you need to treat the infection with something. Hydrocolloid bandage is for healing open wounds It does work well, but not while there is an active infection going on. Once you treat the infection, it should heal up nicely.
