Wound Care Question - Germaline
I put germaline on a cut from yesterday. it wasnt particulary deep, and has stopped bleeding for quite a while now.
Although now ive put germaline on it it has sort of 'opened up' again. It wasnt deep, do its only really just started bleeding again.
Is this normal? Or something to worry about?

Our family swear by Germaline. Literally.
If there's anything wrong with us, we put germaline on it, wither it's a cut, a bite, or a bruise.
I've never personally had any problems with it.
You be alright.

Same with true colours i have never had any problems with it either. I use it alot too.
Did you move or accidently catch it on something or anything that could have made it tight or 'open up again??

creams can make a wound soggy, maybe try using less? keep it dry and covered to encourage it to stick back together, i personally switched from savlon/germalene cream to the savlon wound wash/spray where you flood the wound with the spray and then it dries, antibac that dries and i found healing time went down.

This is fairly normal, you should idealy cover the wound once you have put the cream on to keep it clean.
