I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with some wounds on my right hand. The skin right before my elbow is peeled off. I've been using megaheal ointment on it, but I'm really not sure if that's the right choice. Could you recommend if I should continue with this or suggest a different ointment? I'm a bit uncertain about what's best for healing my injury.
