Healing process: When there is injury to our skin, inflammation occurs which means the area is red, warm, tender and with swelling. Swelling occurs under the skin layers and leaks out of an open wound. The fluid contains water, protein, electrolytes and cells that give it color. This is a natural process and aids in healing. As it heals, drainage decreases. Keep it covered and changed 2-3 x/ week.
