Before applying a dressing, gently clean the wound to remove dirt and unwanted material.
An infected wound dressing should help protect the wound while managing moisture and wound drainage.
A wet, dirty, or heavily soiled dressing should not be left unchanged. Regular wound monitoring matters.
Increasing redness, swelling, pain, pus, or unusual odor can indicate that the infection needs medical attention.
