Why is it not okay to use mederma on an open wound? is it because it could cause infection or some other reason(s)?

Mederma: is used for SCAR treatment and it is not appropriate treatment for an open wound...however it won't cause infection although it might be irritating! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
