I'm a 50-year-old guy and recently I've noticed this strange fungal skin infection on my face. Is this something rare? What's the best way to treat it? Do I need to use a cream or are oral medications necessary as well?

View allI recently had a minor accident and got some scratches on my feet where the skin peeled off. I went to the hospital to get it dressed and, a couple of days later, began using this Megaheal Ointment. But now I'm noticing that the ointment forms this layer over my wound, almost like gum. I'm curious and a bit concerned because the wound seems like it's still wet. Every time I apply more ointment, it keeps forming this thick layer. Should I be cleaning off the old layer before putting on new ointment, or is it okay to just keep adding it on top? I'm wondering if this layer is actually helping my wound to heal or if I should be doing something differently. I'm also a bit worried about the pain I might feel if I have to peel off that thick layer from the ointment. Am I doing the right thing for healing, or is there something I should change?
You're using Megaheal Ointment correctly, as it forms a protective barrier, promoting a moist environment for wound healing; to manage the thick layer, gently clean the wound with saline water or a mild soap solution before reapplying the ointment, rather than peeling off the layer, which can be painful and disrupt the healing process.
