Do not wash the open, festering wound with herbal infusions. The purulent wound should be thoroughly washed with sterile saline to get rid of exudate and dead tissue. Then you need to disinfect the wound with a specialized disinfectant liquid, for example, Oktaspetal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97727/oktaseptal-aerozol/apteki Then you can dry the wound with sterile gauze and apply a sterile dressing. Hydrocolloid or hydrofibrous dressings can be used, which absorb wound exudate and maintain optimal moisture, which promotes healing, e.g.: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/33767/granuflex-opatrunek/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/6688/aquacel-ag-extra-opatrunek/apteki Herbs can be used in the case of minor abrasions of the epidermis or scratches.
