Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have undergone omphalectomy six months back as I was having endometriosis. The stitch was removed four days later. But I have a raw wound which according to the doctor will heal gradually. I am cleaning the wound using Savlon and dressing the wound and applying T-Bact ointment. But the wound is still there though better than before. Can you kindly suggest if there is any other way to heal up the wound faster?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you said the wound is there since last 20 days, it has reached a chronic stage. If it is healing it is well and good, but most of the wound at this stage will either:
Savlon, we do not prefer as a cleansing agent, as it irritates the granulation more. Better use plain saline. If there is a biofilm layer, then silver based cream are preferred over the T-Bact ointment (Mupirocin). If healthy granulation tissue, then ask your doctor about grafting the wound. In any case, if possible you can send me a snap of the wound to understand it better and guide you, regarding which treatment will benefit the wound more.
