October 31st: Immediately after arriving home in the afternoon, I treated the wound using Chinese herbal medicine applied on the wound surface. However, it couldn't be left exposed because I feared the medicine would stick to my clothes. Therefore, I soaked the medicine into a band-aid and then stuck it on for sealed dressing. At midnight, I tore it off to apply the medicine again.

November 1st: In the morning, when I checked the wound by peeling off the band-aid, I found it was still wet and leaking fluid. I had to use tissue paper to absorb the moisture and reapply the medicine. When I checked it at night, the small wound had dried up, but the large one also seemed dry and stuck to the band-aid which couldn't be peeled off. I changed the band-aid for the smaller wound while continuing to medicate the larger one, hoping to allow some medicine to seep in. However, when I tried to peel off the band-aid, I accidentally pulled off the newly formed epithelium along with it. So, I decided to use my own method: cutting two layers of gauze into the size of the wound, applying the medicine so that it fully permeates the gauze, and covering it with a band-aid for sealed dressing. The wound felt a little spicy.

November 2nd: This morning, I quickly checked the wound. Upon removing the band-aid, I noticed that the gauze soaked with the medicine had dried up, and the small wound had scabbed over. It seemed like the medicine was taking effect. In the afternoon, although the small wound appeared dry, pressing it down revealed water inside. After consulting with the pharmaceutical merchant, they suggested puncturing it to drain the pus. Therefore, I arranged for Dr. Sun to change the dressing. Dr. Sun used a needle to pierce the wound intending to suck out the liquid, but it turned out to be pus. He could only use cotton swabs to press and squeeze out the pus from the wound, causing some pain. Then he reapplied the medicine and sealed it with a band-aid. Alas! Upon returning home, I realized Dr. Sun's dressing skills were not as good as mine, so I had to redo the dressing myself, applying the medicine and sealing it with gauze. (Today, Dr. Sun was surprised by my scar and said it had flattened significantly, hooray!)

November 3rd: Today, I opened the dressing to check, and found the larger wound started healing from the outside inward, leaving only the middle part yet to heal; the smaller one was already dry. I continued applying the medicine and sealed it with a band-aid.

In the afternoon, the inflamed scar, even after yesterday's dressing treatment, remained swollen with pus. Darn, it had already scabbed over, but underneath there was still inflammation and pus. This time, I wouldn’t go to the hospital, I'll handle it myself.

I took out the needle I brought back from Beijing, disinfected it with alcohol, and gently pierced the edge of the scar. Wow, blood immediately flowed out. I slowly absorbed it with tissue paper and pressed hard on the scar to squeeze out secretions. Who knew once started, I couldn't stop. Feeling like all the blood was squeezed out, the scar flattened significantly. So, I went around the entire scar, constantly pricking with the needle and pressing hard with tissue paper to squeeze out the blood until the scar dried up and nothing more could be squeezed out.

Personally, I feel that there was a lot of stagnant blood inside, squeezing it out helps the wound recover. Some people say, won't this easily cause infection? Actually, I didn't think about these issues too much, nor worried too much. My only thought at the time was to quickly drain the pus.

Evening: I dared not continue using Chinese medicine anymore, as it seems to work too slowly. Continued inflammation after usage shows no anti-inflammatory effects. After showering, the softened scab fell off, revealing an ulcerated scar. I applied growth factor and sealed it with a band-aid.

Summary: After three days of treating the wound with Chinese medicine, there was no improvement, so it was declared a failure! Now starting to use growth factors to promote healing.
