How do I choose an appropriate wound dressing?
If the wound is superficial, meaning only the outer layer of skin is affected, a dry gauze bandage such as a 3M Nexcare Waterproof Bandage is a good choice. If the wound is deeper, a dressing that keeps the wound moist, such as McKesson Hydrocolloid Thin Dressing is a better choice. If the wound is not healing, seek evaluation from your doctor.
