@@Matt-jc8rq don't wait seek medical attention please
At the end of the video you point to what you say is another video. But there is nothing there. I cannot immediate find one of your videos that is about Manuka honey and wound healing. If such a video exists can you put a link about it somewhere please? Thank you.
Hey I'm not sure why it didn't show up here is the link ruclips.net/video/0oOOTApuMWg/видео.html I also have lots if you search medihoney on my channel ( that is product specific)
@ thank you so much for that. Very kind of you to point me in the right direction. And such a swift reply.
Can you use hydrocolloid with Triad paste? Or will it keep the wound too moist???
No these have 2 seperate function , triad is meant to be used on its own as a bandage for hard to dress areas such as the tailbone region.
Thank you for this. I scraped my leg when my dad passed trying to clear out his apartment. I should add Im also a type 1 diabetic and a smoker(I know it’s terrible). Anyway the scrape went from a half inch to almost the size of a baseball after getting infected. Then it seemed to be dead skin on top so I thought it should be removed. After that I spent months and months mostly trying to keep it under a fan or somewhere that it could dry out and scab over but it really never did. I could dry it overnight if I kept my leg exposed and under a fan, but as soon as I would start my day and begin to move around it always got soft right away and I would inevitably brush against something and the bit of scab would tear off or it would itch and I’d pick at it. Finally after lots of research I’ve gotten some large alginate bandages off Amazon. And have been cutting them to fit the wound, which is kind of egg shaped at this point. With a band of white and I assume dead skin around the perimeter. They seem to be working well. There is no shortage of moisture. Having a tough time finding clear secondary bandages to be able to see when I should change it. But I think I can tell by now. My main goal was to seal everything in with my secondary dressing. And the most I’ve been able to get is about 3 days until the exoduses(that’s probably wrong but I can’t recall what you called the fluid that is constantly produced) find their way under the tape cause the alginates are full. That’s when I change otherwise I’ll just ruin pants and socks. Im sorry that was way longer than I intended. My question is, if that all made sense, how long should I be continuing to use the alginate dressings? Should it get to a point where it will simply stop leaking all this fluid? I know you’ll say I should see my doc and I am going to be. Have an appointment next thurs. I just wanted your opinion as well? If you know and can share. I realized it’s not medical advice. But everything you said about the dressings makes sense. I can tell you’re very knowledgeable: I’ve never been too worried about a scar or even the crater that will likely remain if I can get this to heal. I also don’t want to keep using it steadily if I shouldn’t. But another thing ive come to know after reading is that unlike small cuts, large wounds do require a somewhat moist environment to heal properly. Any info you can share would be amazing. Sorry this is so long. Maybe there’s something I should watch for to know that it’s ready for a different type of dressing. Or to be left open to the elements for a time or for good. Thank you for your video it is very helpful and reassuring.
You can use alginate as long as the wound has a 3-4+ amout of exudate (sounds like you are at a 3+ as you can keep the dressing on for 3 days). You want to keep the wound eye ball moist. If you have a white ring around the wound it is staying a but to wet so you can either 1)change the dressing sooner 2) use a mesorb cover dressing instead to increase absorption 3) use a skin prep pad around the wound edges to protect the butter skin White skin around the wound means maceration, and maceration will cause the wound to open up more or delay wound healing. I hope this helps ! Remember, eye ball moist and change the dressing every 2-3 days is best for optimal healing . In addition with any chronic wound diet also plays a significant role and is often overlooked. I do have a cookbook available with wonderful recipes along with a list of ingredients that you can simply add to your own favorite recipes. Here is the link if you are interested 📖Cookbook for wound healing amzn.to/4hFwFXI In addition, please ensure to keep your diabetes controlled as this will help. If you follow all of these suggestions, it will optimize your body for the best/fastest possible outcome.
Hello, I have a small wound on the outside of my foot that won't go away, near the heel. It looks like a notch, 2-3 cm long and 1 mm or less in width. I had a blow to my leg about a month ago, it formed a scab, and along the edge of the lower part is that wound. I don't have any pain, I feel normal, I can walk normally. I put on a band-aid and a bandage every day and before that I clean the wound with a combination of warm water and apple cider vinegar. I keep my leg above body level whenever I sit. I don't know what to do to make it heal. Should I walk anyway, can I put on shoes and walk outside?
Do you have diabetes? That can really change my answer.
@@NurseAlyssa39 No, unless I've become diabetic since my last blood draw, half a year ago. I don't have any symptoms, I always feel the same. I noticed that there is a yellowish color on the edge of the scab. I don't know if it's an infection. It doesn't hurt, maybe very little, there is no redness or swelling around. I washed my leg with a gentle stream of warm water and soap twice a day, and later applied antibiotic gel and gauze with a patch. Maybe I should leave the dressing on for a day or two, I really don't know. But thanks a lot for the answer!
@rampart-hmm3 ya it will not hurt to leave the dressing on for 2-3 days as lo g as it is not getting wet. In regards to offloading, this will help in the healing process.
@@NurseAlyssa39 Thank you very much! 🙏
Enjoying and learning from your videos. Great work. By the way. Nice design of your home 🏡
I've had it for past 5 months. I can walk with a walker and for short distances without a walker. But I still have a lot of pain in my hands, arms, elbows, feet. Still have urinary problems peeing all the time and constipation as well. I try to stay active...hope this eventually gets better...we'll see...

Can i keep the unused part for future use?
In the home setting yes you can, but with that said please be cautious not to contaminate the unused part. Tape the package closed and alcohol scissors before cutting and cut with the backings on.
How to protect from 5G and all the dirty technology?
I could have red the text. No explanations, no cases, no pictures of types of wounds, nothing…shame
@Ana-sk4wx unfortunately I get my videos blocked or taken down for showing wounds. I know this can be frustrating, but I do try my best while staying within what I'm allowed to show. ❤️
I have just fimished radiation in the pubic area for vulva cancer. A swelling started before the end of the treatment that the doctor said might leak. It did at first for a couple of days then it stopped. Over the past week it has been dripping and even had a very stinky cottage cheese like texture come out. I keep it irrigated with saline solution many times a day. The doctor does not seem concerned.What else should I be doing? Antiseptic ointment? Is it time for a wound care doctor?
Try to keep it dry and clean. Clean with saline multiple times per day. I personally would want a wound culture taken to see if you need an antibiotic as this could just be drainage due to treatment.
@NurseAlyssa39 thank you that is what I thought. You eased my mind

Your channel is so very helpful.
Happy to help!
THANK you 😊
You're welcome 😊
I find these dressings are the best, even at A&E they told me best to use when skin comes of my legs sometime. new will ground anything from 14 to 21 days. I try to change the dressings once a week. thanks for the video
Ok no w I know.what came out the wound in my knee it was serous
What do you do if the wound can't be easily pushed together? Does that mean it needs stitches or is there an alternative?
It honestly depends how deep it is, but it sounds like you need stitches.
@NurseAlyssa39 Yep, ended up going to a&e and got 15 stitches. Your video was helpful though thanks
I use it for nose bleeding
Naweza kuipataje?
What happens if I didn't remove the backing cover?
it's a paper material on both sides of the jelonet, the exudate will not be able to go through to the cover dressing.
My knee is infected with an open wound that shiws the inside pink stuff sooo tye bandage is literally soo hard niw and its stuck so i dont know what to do. It hurts alot
For stuck wound dressings saturate the dressing with normal saline or sterile water, sometimes it takes a while to self-release so be patient.
Very informative series. ❤😊
Glad you like them!
Good case study. ❤😊
This is so helpful! Could you possibly leave the images up a little longer?
I will try to do so in my upcoming videos thank you for the request!
Thank you 🙏🏼
You’re welcome 😊
i have a dressing over an I&D from a skin abscess. there is 15 cm of packing inside. am i supposed to not let water near it because of bacteria? i don’t want to rinse any of it. i’ve just been switching tegaderms and gauze once it becomes saturated. also it smells weird but no yellow color. just red
hello, you can clean the wound with normal saline. As long as you can see/ probe to the wound base and allow the fluid to drain out/ or absorb the fluid with sterile gauze or packing.
Is there a dressing or gel/topical you would recommend most for an atrophic scar? Collagen, extracellular matrix, etc.? Or is there something that would help most?
You could try a silicone sheet, it is a slow process (3 months on average) to reduce the appearance of the scaring.
They have a collagen hydrogel, wouldn't that be better overall?
Depends on the wounds needs, the hydrogel is going to add moisture and is for dry wounds.
Stop eating all grains, seed oils, high carb foods, sugary foods or food that turns to sugar like bread , potatoes, rice, pasta etc

Before using that, how about povidone? It can be combination before saline 0.9%. #IMO
I don't like mixing antimicrobials. ( Should only use one at a time) you could use a chlorhexidine solution with bactigras . Or I suggest inadine non stick contact layer with povidone iodine . But this is not necessary. I normally just clean with saline then apply the patch.
@@NurseAlyssa39 okey thanx mom, i try
Je viens de voir cette vidéo. Ma fille de 10 mois s'était brûlée au 2eme degré profond avec de l'eau chaude du thermos, on m'a prescrit flammazine et le pansement se faisait chaque jour en tout cas je suis très ravie du résultat parce que la plaie s'est cicatricé au bout de 10 jours accompagné d'un antibiotique aussi. Mais, mon inquiétude est dans combien de temps environ la peau va reprendre sa coloration ou bien il faut un autre produit pour faire disparaitre la cicatrice totalement ?
Can i use this with my wound vac dressing or not
Yes it can be used with a vac.
I just had huge boil between legs in the testies and butt region pus discharge was brown and smelled like dead fish should i be alarmed...... im taking penicillin for it
That would be pus . You are on an antibiotic like you said, so you should be covered.
What are you suggesting to use as a cover dressing with this?
it really depends on the amount of drainage coming from the wound, you want to keep the wound eyeball moist.
Why?
Can you get cellulitis on your face
I’ve been soaking my finger in warm water for over an hour and it’s still stuck
Yeah same, I don’t wanna jank it off because it’ll start bleeding again
Be happy it’s your finger for me it’s my whole infected knee😭can’t get it off for shit
Try showering with it on and try to pull off slowly, if it is this bad make sure to put a non stick contact layer, nonstick gauze or even some Vaseline on the wound will work. I hope this helps
Bro it sticked to my foot i cant even wear shoes and shi 😭@@agilesnakes3295
What did you do I'm in same situation
My blister pop all it self
Yes sometimes this does happen
Can i used that on a bedsore since my mother bedsore is quite already open wound ...it was located on her bonetail
Yes, this can be used on a bed sore.
@@NurseAlyssa39 thank you very
Would these be good on a heating pad burn that the blister popped open from frictuon?
yes this would be an appropriate dressing
thank you so much 😭😭😭
You're welcome 😊
Google didn’t have the answer so it brought me here. Much appreciated
What side up the mesh gauze side on wound?
@stephenmoon5123 both sides work make sure to peel off the backing from both sides
This sounds heroic to do to yourself. How much worst is this than removing your own rear molar without pain killer?
Thank you Nurse Alyssa for all these educational videos 🌷
