My wife fell an few months ago and her thin skin busted open and the emergency room tried 4 stitches to close the wound ,it took several weeks and they couldent get it to dry up and heal ,drained constantly.Then a friend recommended to go to the Wound Care center in Richmond.They recommended a home care service that came every other day .Bandage the wound with a bandage called MESALT that drains the wound and wicks the discharge out of it .In one week the wound closed up 90 % ..If anybody has a similar type wound that wont heal and drains constantly its worth a try ! (Its applied dry and is impregnated with salt..).
