Hi so i have an abrasion on my knee and i put antibiotics but some of it dried up and i'm not sure whether to leave it or what to do to loosen it up.

Neosporin: Neosporin twice a day thin layer to avoid scarring. Let it fall off on its own. Pus draining or swelling and redness see a doctor. Good luck.
