Hi I have a burning and oozing wound on the edge of the eye because I rubbed too much when removing makeup. Please advise whether to heal quickly I have to wash this wound and moisturize with cream or rather overdry. I want them not to be alive and heal quickly

Unfortunately, without a photo of the wound, I can only give very general and universal advice. Important in this situation is the fact whether the wound is very close to the eyelid. First of all, it is necessary to decontaminate the wound using a sterile gauze pad and an antiseptic. Please do not use hydrogen peroxide, spirit or rivanol for this purpose. It is worth choosing modern, effective and safe preparations, e.g. Octenisept (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87829/octenisept-aerozol-aerozol/apteki#internetowe) or Prontosan. After cleaning the wound, you can apply a gel that accelerates wound healing, e.g. Octenilin gel (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/55566/octenilin-zel-na-rany-zel/apteki#internetowe), Sutriheal Forte 5% (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97372/sutriheal-forte-5-masc/apteki#internetowe) or Prontosan gel (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/64517/prontosan-wound-gel-zel/apteki#internetowe). Due to the close proximity to the eyeball, I recommend caution in the application and avoiding getting these preparations into the eye. Gels can be applied daily. Do not overdry the wounds - it is a myth that "aired" wounds heal faster. To avoid problems with healing and the formation of scabs, and as a result scars, the wound should be healed "wet", i.e. disinfected and moisturized with the above-mentioned preparations.
