October 31st: After returning home in the afternoon, I immediately treated the wound, applying Chinese medicine to the wound surface. However, it couldn't be left exposed as I feared the medicine would stick to my clothes, so I soaked the medicine into a band-aid and then applied it for sealed packaging. I tore it off at midnight to reapply the medicine.

November 1st: In the morning, after removing the band-aid, I noticed it wasn't dry yet and was still discharging fluid. I had to use tissue paper to absorb the moisture before reapplying the medicine. When I checked the wound at night, I found the smaller wound had dried up, but the larger one also seemed to have dried. The band-aid stuck to the wound and couldn't be peeled off. I changed the band-aid on the smaller wound while continuing to apply medicine on the larger one, hoping the medicine could soak in a bit. However, when I accidentally tore off the band-aid, I ended up peeling off the newly formed epithelium. So, I used my own dressing method again: cutting two layers of gauze to the size of the wound, applying the medicine to fully saturate the gauze, then covering it with a band-aid for sealed packaging. I felt a slight burning sensation on the wound.

November 2nd: This morning, upon checking the wound after tearing off the band-aid, I saw that the gauze soaked with medication had dried, and the small wound had scabbed over. I estimated the medicine was taking effect.

In the afternoon, although the small wound appeared dry, pressing it revealed there might still be liquid inside. After consulting with the pharmaceutical merchant, they suggested puncturing it to drain pus. Therefore, I scheduled an appointment with Doctor Sun for changing the dressing. Doctor Sun punctured the wound with a needle to suck out the liquid, which turned out to be pus, requiring pressure from cotton swabs to squeeze out the pus, causing some pain. Then, the medicine was reapplied, and the wound was covered with a band-aid. Alas! Upon returning home, I found Doctor Sun's dressing skills weren't as good as mine, so I had to change the dressing myself again, applying the medicine and sealing it with gauze.

(Today, Doctor Sun was surprised by the improvement in my scar, saying it had flattened significantly. Ha ha!)

November 3rd: Today, I opened the dressing to check and found the larger wound was beginning to heal from the outside inward, leaving only the middle part yet to heal; the smaller wound had already dried up. I continued applying the medicine and sealing it with a band-aid.

In the afternoon, I noticed the inflamed scar still had pus despite yesterday's treatment. It was swollen with pus underneath even though it had scabbed over. This time, I decided not to go to the hospital and resolved 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 flowed out profusely. I slowly absorbed it with tissue paper and forcefully pressed the scar to squeeze out secretions. To my surprise, after squeezing out the blood, the scar seemed to flatten significantly. So, I continued piercing around the scar with the needle and squeezed out the blood with tissue paper until the scar dried up and couldn't be squeezed anymore.

Personally, I feel like there was a lot of stagnant blood inside, and squeezing it out helps the wound recover.

Some people say, isn't it easy to get infected? Actually, I didn't think about these issues too much or worry excessively. My only thought at the time was to quickly drain the pus.

In the evening, I dared not continue using Chinese medicine because it seemed slow to take effect and the wound kept getting inflamed without any anti-inflammatory action. After bathing, the scab softened, and after tearing it off, the scar still had an ulcerated surface. I applied growth factor and sealed it with a band-aid.

Summary: Using Chinese medicine to treat the wound for three days showed no improvement, so I declared it a failure! I began using growth factors to promote healing.
