A member asked:
I accidentally got a small cut on my outer elbow. no bandage will stick on, but there's no more bleeding after applying antibiotic ointment and vaseline. is it okay to keep it uncovered without a bandage?

It should be okay. If you develop a discharge, it would require additional attention. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
