@takoxd - Perhaps next time you should wet the bandage with a damp cloth before peeling it away – that way it loosens away from the new skin that is forming and doesn’t alter the wound healing. Pulling it straight off the wound means tearing away the healing skin!! Which means slower healing and increased risk of infection and scarring. Also, wetting the bandages might make it a little less painful, haha.
And maybe wear better protection the next time you decide to ride down a steep mountainside?? I hope that the leg grazes was the worst of it!
But actually, just for random information, often times, patients with big wounds will get “wet to dry” bandages. because you’re actually supposed to put wet dressing on wounds. and you let the dressing dry and then tear it off. The idea is that when you tear off the top layer of tissue, it increases wound healing factors that come to the site so that wound healing actually accelerates. a strange concept I know, I’m still trying to understand the details and what circumstances to use it still .
@wonderland7386 - No kidding? That seems so counterproductive in my head. I can understand that there is an increase in healing factors, but it just doesn’t sound right still. Then again, I guess the skin heals quickly so if you continually rip it away, whatever is injured underneath will heal faster with a constant increase in those factors.. I’m intrigued. I would opt for normal wound dressings though… the whole ripping my skin away when I dress my wounds just makes me cringe haha

If you close your eyes, it sounds like a cheesy porno from the early 80′s.
@takoxd - LOL you’re right.
