A member asked:
I got a friction wound it's quite small should i use a healing hansplast water proof bandaid on it? or a healing cream and not cover it?

Cover: I have found great success with Medihoney for superficial wounds. It is similar to antibiotic ointment. It helps clean the wounds, keeps them the right moisture, and is keeps them clean. Cover with a band aid.
