It is important to know how to properly treat a wound and what to use for this. They are purulent, weeping and non-healing. Damage to the dermis, characterized by the release of pus, swelling and tissue necrosis, is called a purulent wound.
As for a weeping wound, this is an abrasion with a wet surface, from which liquid is released. Non-healing wounds- this, most often, is a consequence of their incorrect therapy. Treatment of the disease folk remedies- an effective addition to traditional therapy prescribed by a specialist.
