I'm facing a bit of a situation with a wound on my leg that's taking a while to heal, and I could really use some guidance. So my bike skidded about a month and a half ago and I ended up hitting my leg on the footpath. Most of the wound has healed, but there's this small part, about the size of a fingertip, thats still raw. It's been oozing this clear, watery liquidnot yellowwhich I think might be preventing it from healing completely. I saw Dr. Prashanth BN at Vijayshree hospital and have been keeping up with regular dressing and using Augmentin D as an antibiotic and Betadine as an ointment, even tried turmeric powder on it. Pain's gone down, but I'm out of town now and wondering what else I can do to get it to heal fully. Any advice on how to stop this liquid and get the wound completely healed?
